Recently, while trying to find a mugshot for Antonio Timberlake (who was recently convicted of 11 counts of robbery) I came across a mugshot for another guy who is almost certainly from the same notorious North Minneapolis crime family; yes, it's convicted drive-by shooter Patrick Carl Timberlake. 

I was struck by the happy expression on his face but when I looked at the MN DOC website to see how much time he was serving, I understood why Patrick looks so upbeat in his mugshot. Patrick was facing the possibility of nine years in prison for...

Patrick Timberlake Sentenced To Eight Years, But Gets One Last Laugh On His Jailers...

Patrick Carl Timberlake, who was a member of the "Skitz Squad" formed for the purpose of revenge and retaliation on behalf of their murdered friend Juwan "Skitz" Osbourne, was recently sentenced to eight years for a shooting spree that injured two people. KSTP reported the sentencing, but other media entities apparently decided Timberlake got enough coverage during his actual guilty plea.

Timberlake was "released" from the Hennepin County Jail on May Day, no doubt boarding that big bus to St. Cloud where new prisoners are categorized and eventually parceled out to various facilities, rather like the processing of fish. I'm not sure how this happened, but the last few weeks of his incarceration Timberlake's home address was listed as 2017 Russell Ave. N.

That address does not actually exist. In fact, a Google search for that address only brings up two previous editions of the Hennepin County Jail Roster.

Very funny, Mister Timberlake.

We'll be laughing for the next eight years.

In early January, this blog wrote about a criminal complaint against Patrick Timberlake, age 16, which revealed incredible details in the North Minneapolis gang war. Timberlake is now 17 (happy birthday, Patrick Timberlake!) and for a birthday present will be getting a getting a prison sentence. So will Anthony Jenkins, age 20.

Timberlake's sentence will be something between 96 and 114 months. The sentence for Jenkins is already known; 84 months.

The Hennepin County Prosecutor released a statement today. I'm not sure if other media have published it, yet, but here it is word-for-word including (conveniently) the suggested headline...

Incredible Details About North Minneapolis Gang War Revealed In Criminal Complaint Against Patrick Carl Timberlake, Age 16...

The Minnesota Court of Appeals recently ruled that "P.C.T.," a 16-year-old gang member, should be tried as an adult for a series of drive by shootings that left two people injured. The criminal complaint, available for the first time on JNS blog (click here for your own copy) involves a war between gangs known as the Taliban, YNT, Stick Up Boys and Skitz Squad.

The murder of Juwan Osborne (known as "Skitz") and the retaliatory house shooting that left 5-year-old Nizzel George dead were part of that gang war, as outlined in a Star Tribune article, click here.

The ruling by the State Court of Appeals strongly reversed a Hennepin County District Court ruling which determined Patrick Timberlake should NOT be tried as an adult. Word from a reliable source says this ruling is being appealed, presumably to the Minnesota State Supreme Court. But in the meantime, the criminal complaint became public and I obtained a copy. Both the complaint and the State Appeals Court ruling are full of details both informative and horrible about the North Minneapolis gang war which is littering our streets with dead.

I may follow up later and pull out these details. In the meantime, I would urge readers to check out both the criminal complaint and the court ruling.
