seatbelt. The car was headed the opposite direction, when Officer
Larrive caught up with the car the occupants all slouched down (can’t see

under arrest. Officer Lambert arrived moments later, the three male
passengers were ID’ed, two had active felony warrants. The three
couldn’t explain; who owned the car, who’s the property was in the car
or why they had an assortment of tools with them. All three were given
an opportunity to give their story, they declined. They were transported
to the Dakota County Jail and booked in on the following charges; false
information, possession of stolen property and possession of burglary
tools. The vehicle was impounded. The owner was eventually located
and came to claim her car. Surprise the paperwork didn’t match the
story and that she had no idea who’s stuff was in her car.
