Irving Willie Madison Faces Charges For God Knows What...

Irving Willie Madison, DOB 9/4/89, is sitting in the Hennepin County jail this moment on a bench warrant for Dangerous Weapons/Possess Dangerous Article, Substance.

Yeah.

First time I've seen THAT on the jailhouse roster.

The mind runs wild with possibilities...

A homemade bazooka? A potato gun? A catapult? A big jar of botulism toxin?

Irving Willie Madison reportedly lives at 2411 Lyndale Ave. N., a house (no rental license) owned by Sisters Need A Place (SNAP). It is an "organization formed by Muslim women to meet the economic and spiritual needs of women." How Madison fits into that picture is a complete mystery. The Minnesota Secretary of State lists the organization "in good standing"

The building was placed on the vacant building registry on 12/6/2011. It may be Madison is simply using the building for his purported address with no connection to the property.

Madison is a bad man. Here's the details of his rap sheet, not all of which represent convictions, but some of the entries do:

Though the jail roster lists a "bench warrant," I am unable to find any online court case for Irving Willie Madison for which a current bench warrant was issued, which contributes even more to that whole "god knows what" aspect of this arrest.

In any case...

God bless the Minneapolis Police Department for scraping this guy off the street.
