STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause: Complainant and/or Signing Officer designated below, declares under penalty of perjury, that he/she has reviewed police reports relating to the above-named Defendant and the allegations contained herein, and/or has spoken with peace officers having knowledge of the incident, and based upon that information, believes the following to be true and correct. On or about February 3, 2018, an officer with the Faribault Police Department was monitoring Walmart in the City of Faribault. The officer noticed a vehicle, MN plate 507TVK, enter into the lot. The vehicle parked but no occupants got out of the vehicle to enter the business. The vehicle caught the officer s attention because on January 31, 2018 an email was sent to officers asking to identify a female from this same vehicle who was involved in a theft from Kwik Trip. The officer continued to monitor the vehicle for approximately five minutes. Still, nobody exited the vehicle. The officer then approached the vehicle to identify the driver and passenger in regards to the email involving the theft. The officer approached the vehicle and noticed it was occupied by two females. The officer spoke with the driver and explained the situation. While speaking to the driver, the officer noticed the female passenger matched the photo given in the email. The officer asked both females for their ID and both stated they did not have one on them. The driver verbally identified herself as Heather Larscheid, DOB: 10/17/1979 (hereinafter Larscheid). The female passenger would not make eye contact with the officer and would ignore the officer while attempting to ask her questions. The female passenger finally verbally identified herself as Carol Carrie Suppon. The officer returned to his car and conducted a check of the driver and passenger. Larcsheid was found to be valid and clear. Carol was found to be not on file. The officer returned to the vehicle to further investigate the passenger s name. The female passenger again identified herself as Carol Suppon. The officer believed the passenger was giving a fake name. The officer advised the passenger that giving a false name was a crime. The female passenger finally identified herself as Angela Herplinck, DOB: 12/14/1982 (hereinafter Herplinck). A routine check on Herplinck revealed an active felony warrant. Herplinck was asked to exit the vehicle and advised she was under arrest. Herplinck was placed in handcuffs and placed in the rear of a squad car. An officer asked if Herplinck needed anything from inside the car that she wanted with her at the jail. Herplinck asked the officer to get her cell phone and a black purse and a pink and black backpack. The officer returned to the car and located the black purse and pink/black backpack sitting on the floor at the feet of where Herplinck was previously sitting. Prior to bringing the bags to the jail, the officer searched the purse and backpack. Inside the purse, the 3
officer located a black soft sunglasses holder. Inside the sunglasses holder was a meth pipe, a small yellow baggie with white powder residue, and a small oval orange colored pill. The officer also located several hypodermic needles. The items and substances found were identified and/or weighed. The pipe tested positive for methamphetamine. The baggie with the white powder weighed approximately.25 grams. The oval orange pill was identified as Amphetamine and Dextroamphetamine 20 mg. Amphetamine is a Schedule II controlled substance. With the drugs located in Herplinck s purse, officers searched the entire vehicle. More suspected drugs and paraphernalia were found within the car. One officer recalled Larscheid removed her purse from the vehicle when she exited and placed it on the roof of the car. The officer searched the purse. Inside the purse was a blue and white sunglasses holder. Inside of that sunglasses holder were several hypodermic needles and a large shard of suspected methamphetamine. The shard tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed.65 grams. Officers were later informed that Larscheid attempted to smuggle methamphetamine into the jail. Once at the jail, Larscheid was unruly with jail staff. She refused to leave the booking area to the isolation cells. After finally complying with commands from jail staff, Larscheid was escorted to her cell. Jail staff found methamphetamine in Larscheid s clothes. Specifically, Larscheid had methamphetamine hidden in or near her underwear. The methamphetamine found weighed approximately 1 gram. Herplinck was previously convicted of violating chapter 152 on July 20, 2017 in Steele County case 74-CR- 17-664 and on December 21, 2017 in Steele County case 74-CR-17-1685. Larscheid was previously convicted of violating chapter 152 on May 9, 2017 in LeSueur County case 40- VB-17-253. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.49., intentional failure to appear for duly scheduled court appearances may result in additional criminal charges, and in addition to any arrest warrant that may otherwise be issued by the Court. 4
