Eric Jermain Chineth Faces Weapons Charges, Johnny Northside's Attempts To Create Illustrative Photos For Stories Of This Nature Reaches The Sublimely Ridiculous...

Photo and blog post by John Hoff, like it wasn't obvious

Eric Jermain Chineth, DOB 1/17/1976, has been released from the Hennepin County Jail on $3,000 bail, but has been formally charged with "Weapons Charges" and "Controlled Substance, Narcotics." This scumbag is innocent until proven guilty.

Chineth is no stranger to the law...


Here's his rap sheet, not all of which represent convictions, but some of them do.

Chineth's address is listed on the jail roster as 1611 22nd Ave. N., a rental owned by Manoj Moorjani of 9008 Coldstream La, Eden Prairie, MN. This property has an interesting back story, click here for a highly informative city document. It was owned by United Homes, Inc., which is slumlord Phil Kleindl's entity. Back in 2009, United Homes and the City of Minneapolis made an agreement to restore the home rather than tear it down, even though the Jordan Area Community Council recommended demolition and called the property an "eyesore."

Since that time, the property has passed from United Homes and made its way to Moorjani. Who is this guy? I figured he might be connected to Bashir Moghul, since the previous rental history of the property shows "Manzoor A. Moghul," one of the members of Moghul's slummy empire. However, that was from 1999 to 2004. Another name, Lenny Frolov, appears on the list of rental contacts in 2011. Unless Frolov works for Moghul, the chain is broken.

So who is Manoj Moorjani? Well, we know he lives in Eden Prairie. There is a Manoj Moorjani of Eden Prairie who was the victim of a Ponzi scheme and claims to have lost $75,000, click here for Star Tribune story. 

Cry me a river. Slumlord loses money to Ponzi scheme.

What we see illustrated here at 1611 22nd Ave. N. is the endless cycle of slum and scum in a symbiotic relationship. Slummy slumlords renting to scummy people, scummy people keeping slummy slumlords in business, an unbroken circle of slum and scum.

And so it is that Eric Jermain Chineth lists 1611 22nd Ave. N. as his home address on the jail roster.
