Juanio NMN Deleon, whose purported date of birth is 3/4/86, is sitting in jail this moment facing possible controlled substance charges. There's also a "hold" on him from the Aitkin County Sheriff's Department, with bail set at $6,000.
Deleon's address, according to the jail roster, is 2211 Fremont Ave. N.
That address doesn't actually exist...
...according to online Minneapolis property records. A Google search for the address produces only 3 duplicative hits from a website called "walkscore dot com" which appear to be based upon some kind of error. Real addresses not only show up in city and county records, but produce numerous hits on Google as they generate taxes, public complaints, mortgage foreclosures, and so forth. There's no way around the fact 2211 Fremont Ave. N. is a fictional location. And yet the roster says it's where Deleon is alleged to reside.
This is not an isolated example on the Hennepin County jail roster. I frequently dig into these addresses, and I frequently find "nonexistent" addresses. If somebody being incarcerated at the jail opens up their mouth and spits out such an address, they're either lying, mistaken, or both.
Yes, you could be both. You could be LYING about where you live, and MISTAKENLY believing the address you're providing actually exists. It's like being a lying dirt bag. Which are you? The dirt? Or the bag? Well, it seems like you could be BOTH.
It's possible some of these nonexistent addresses are the result of typographical errors made by jail personnel. If so, these errors are happening far too often. The reported address of a detainee at the jail is valuable data, and if it's being "fat fingered" into the keyboard over and over, then whoever has those fat fingers needs some supervisory attention. I'm far more inclined, however, to believe it's simply a case of lying dirt bags doing what they do, which is lie.
But providing false information to police about your identity (to include address, birthday) is against the law. So how is it individuals pass through the jail all the time, (probably) telling big whopping lies about where they live, and yet they pass through the system without apparent detection or consequences? Jailhouse roster data is valuable data. What if one of these (alleged) dirt bags later committed a murder, and police were trying to locate this person? Their last reported address from a recent arrest might be the only clue to their whereabouts.
That is a rather dramatic example, but there's obviously a REASON addresses are collected from arrestees in the first place. A job worth doing is worth doing right. And if dirtbags lie about their addresses, they deserve additional charges.
I've called out this issue before in blog posts. Many times. But it appears I need to call it out more prominently, in bloggy headlines, and create a little meta tag called "Nonexistent Addresses On Hennepin County Jail Roster."
Deleon is a bad man. Here's his rap sheet, not all of which represent convictions, but some of them do.

Impressive! And yet he passes through the Hennepin County jail, coughs up a nonexistent address, and that's just fine?
I don't expect Deleon to be anything but a bad man. But the personnel working at the jail are good guys, and among many other things being a good guy means giving a rip about doing a good job. Letting detained dirtbags cough up fake addresses without detection or consequences doesn't count as "doing a good job."
Hennepin County jail authorities?
FIX THIS!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance.
It seems odd that the jail doesn't have access to some kind of database that can recognize an invalid address, maybe using the property look-up function that is available once. (Not sure if there would be an issue because the property look-up seems to be run by cities versus the county.)
ReplyDeleteWell, actually the city and county duplicate their property systems, each showing different information. If I want to know about TAXES for a property, I go to the county site, which is actually accessible from the city site. Just click on "taxes" while looking up a property on the city site.
ReplyDeleteBut I still don't see what would keep jail personnel from using either site, or Google, or whatever to make sure an address is real.
Oh, also, take for example Carmen Gomez who was in jail recently. Her birthday changed by ONE DAY. That was no TYPO.
But birthday information is already in MNCIS. So birthday information can be verified, too, and not just addresses. Though this kind of inaccuracy seems much more common with addresses instead of birthdays.
The only argument against it seems to be "we are busy doing something else. We don't have time."
Not enough time to make sure people in jail aren't lying about where they really live? WTF?
As opposed to immature bloggers who *always* tell the truth, right?
ReplyDeleteSteering the topic back where it belongs:
ReplyDeleteLying dirt bags being booked into the jail. Take the time to confirm their purported addresses have a basis in reality or just let their deception slide?
Discuss.
Or, to quote Keith Reitman:
ReplyDeleteI, um, well, what I mean, I, let me think, uh uh um.
