JNS BLOG EXCLUSIVE: Likely Identities Of The Criminal Suspects In The "Pistol Whipping Crime Spree" Last Night On West Broadway...

Random stock photo and blog post by John Hoff

Which would you prefer: these homemade cookies from Megan Goodmundson or a pistol whipping in the dark and dead of night?

A few hours ago, the Star Tribune published a story about two suspects arrested in North Minneapolis after a "pistol whipping" crime spree, click here for the article if the Star Tribune link isn't already dead, which happens ALL THE TIME, and it's quite annoying but, hey, I'm sure dead trees feel even WORSE.

Notably, the Star Tribune published details about the two suspects such as...

...the fact one of the men is from Elk River, plus their ages but DID NOT publish their names.

Why is that? You just have to wonder.

Figuring out their (likely) identies, however, is not difficult by scrutinizing the online Hennepin County jail roster. It appears (likely) one of the men is Antawon Antonio Baker, born 6/9/1984 and having a home address of 607 Twin Ave. N., Elk River, Minnesota. (A more detailed criminal record search may follow)

Baker was booked into the jail today at around 4 in the morning and charged with aggravated robbery. He is held without bail.

The other suspect is (apparently) Lante Edjuan Morris, born 6/7/1981, whose address is 3250 Morgan Ave. N., booked around 4 in the morning and charged with aggravated robbery and criminal possession of a pistol. He is held pending $75,000 bail.

So there you go, and that wasn't so hard, but I have to ask: why does it fall to the blogosphere to provide these details instead of the (paid!) mass media?

More easy-as-pie criminal record searches will likely follow regarding these two clowns.

Oh, excuse me. ALLEGED clowns.
