In late March, police received reports of "multiple robberies at gunpoint" around the 900 block of Oliver Ave. N. One of the victims reported the robbers were standing at a bus stop in front of 923 Penn Ave. N., according to a criminal complaint.
When police showed up, they arrested Steven Creamer and Aaron Jerome Williams. A cell phone belonging to one victim was found in the pocket of Creamer's pants. There's no mention in the criminal complaint that a tracking device on the phone helped to locate the robbers but, well, one wonders.
A realistic-looking BB gun was found in the vicinity and Creamer pretty much admitted he'd handled the gun. He's prohibited from having guns due to a prior conviction. Yes, even a BB gun.
On the criminal complaint, Creamer's home address is listed as 3743 Logan Ave. N., a property owned by A Vision LLC with the taxpayer listed as Bruce D. Barron of Savage, MN.
The name "A Vision LLC" keeps coming up in association with dubious people in North Minneapolis...
Click here for one example, the murder of DeCari Antonio Starr. Click here for another, Arnaz Thompson who tried to swallow 12 baggies of cocaine, allegedly. By the way, Bruce Barron is associated with THAT property, too, according to online property records.
So where does Bruce get his money to fool around with Northside properties and rent to the criminal scum class?
Well, Bruce D. Barron of Savage, Minnesota, is apparently associated with an entity called Centric Capitol Advisors/Financial and has made contributions to MADIA FOR CONGRESS. (Click here for link to this info)
Bruce Barron (Centric Capital Advisors/Financial), (Zip code: 55378) $250 to MADIA FOR U S CONGRESS on 07/13/08
Bruce Barron (Centric Capital Advisors/Financial), (Zip code: 55378) $250 to MADIA FOR U S CONGRESS on 10/18/08
Bruce Barron (Centric Capital Advisors/Financial), (Zip code: 55378) $250 to MADIA FOR U S CONGRESS on 09/09/08
Beyond that, I have no information about Bruce D. Barron. If he's the landlord of this property as well as the property where DeCari Starr was murdered, then Bruce Barron might be well advised to practice better judgment with his tenants.
Someone needs to start a website called SLUMLORDS of MINNEAPOLIS and list these people in a way that web entries related to their scummery are the first hit on Google.
ReplyDeleteWell, to a great degree, this blog is the SLUMLORDS OF MINNEAPOLIS site that you envision.
ReplyDeleteScummery. I like that word.
ReplyDeleteA Vision LLC is also the owner of one of the problem duplexes on the 2600 block of Emerson Ave N, where the Sheltering Arms House sits. I think we finally have a buyer for that house, but if the block didn't have two poorly managed houses and an inconvenience store, we'd have found a buyer years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe JNS reference (a different story?) for Bruce D Barron comes up on the second page of a Google search. Maybe a tech-minded friend can improve the visibility of your stories within the search parameters. I know it can be done, just don't know how to do it.
ReplyDeleteUse the blog name as one search parameter and the name or corporate entity as another search parameter. Search Bruce Barron + Johnny Northside =

Side note. See a post with a tag that needs an update? Just post a comment which supplies the new information.
I think the idea is to type in just the name into the search engine and get the blog posting without prior knowledge the name is attached to the JNS blog.
ReplyDelete12:19to 12:16: Oops. Misunderstood. Never mind.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, the guy's name is Creamer. just wanted to point that out.
ReplyDeleteYes and the cell phone was in his front pants pocket. (Snicker)
