Rudimentary Yet Delicious! More Hennepin County Jail Roster Nuggets!

Stock photo, Thanksgiving dinner, Forward Operating Base Gardez, blog post by John Hoff


What an amazing time I've had already with my "roster nuggets" project, and I'm only as far as the letter "C." I've already turned up an accused first degree murderer and the infuriating saga of Robert Donelle Williams.

Where will the nugget-filled journey lead us next? Even as I write these words, your guess is as good as mine!

Calvin Early Clinkscale (10/12/83) is already out of jail on conditional release, no bail. Not bad considering he was arrested on a FELONY charge of possessing....


..."not a small amount" of marijuana. Clinksale lists his address as 1621 Hillside Ave. N.

His conditional release is even more astounding in light of his criminal record, as follows:

Pled not guilty to everything except burglary. Everything but the burglary dismissed. Appears to have received 48 months (four years) with credit for time served of almost a year, if I am reading the record correctly. Restitution was to be taken from any prison wages or supervised release wages.

Convicted only of driving after suspension after amending plea, pleading guilty to that one charge. Fined. Still owes $32 as of today.

Pleaded not guilty. Found guilty. See, this is what happens when there's only one charge and you can't bargain. Got credit for 22 days served on a 90 day sentence, which he was allowed to serve as work release.

For reasons that are not clear to me, this appears to be the EXACT SAME CASE as the previously listed case, with the same dates, same time served, same resolution.

Controlled Substance Crime Fifth Degree - Possession

Pled guilty to the fifth degree and the third degree was dismissed. Three years probation. So, let's see, he'd be on probation right now. And still he was conditionally released on the current charge? AMAZING.

This charge takes place along the same timeline as the driving charge, so it appears to stem from the same incident. Credit for 22 days served, seems to be the same 22 days as before.

Clinkscale currently has a probation violation hearing for April 18.

---------

Benny Wayne Cohens (3/6/57) is charged with 3 assault charges, two of which are felonies, and TRANSIT CRIME, i.e., riding without paying. It's easy to see how the last thing led to the other three things. Now he has $50,000 bail. THAT'S A LOT OF BUS FARE.

Cohens' address is listed as 2801 Knox Ave. N.

I don't find any evidence that Cohens has a prior criminal record in the State of Minnesota.
---------

Marcellus Darrell Coleman (12/12/86) is charged with 3rd Degree Assault, a felony, and he's on a Department of Corrections hold. Coleman's address is listed as 3201 Penn Ave. N. The property in question is owned by Hennepin County, attention to the Development Manager. (However, it's listed under a "master address" of 2204 Lowry Ave. N.)

Coleman's association with this address strikes me as a bit on the fishy side, but whatever.

Here's all the bad things Coleman has been charged with in the past, and the resolution:

Pled guilty. Sentenced to a year in St. Cloud. Credit for 104 days already served. Still owes $153 on this case. You know--this is just an idea--it seems to me that when somebody is arrested and taken to the jail, and they have, like, cash in their pockets--and it turns out they still owe money to the court--well, whatever cash they have in their pockets could be applied to those outstanding fines.

Just an idea.

Montrelle Lee Collins (12/31/92) is charged with two counts of second degree burglary of a dwelling, a felony. His address is listed as 4259 Penn Ave. N., a rental owned by Sean E. Burress, listed at the same address.

Collins appears to be something of a purist, ignoring other crimes for the focused pursuit of thievery. Here's his criminal record:

Here we see Collins received his calling at a young age and has never looked back. Pled not guilty but he was guilty, adjudicated delinquent. Received electronic home monitoring.
