The Star Tribune and other media entities are reporting a high-profile story about an arrest in a dog fighting operation, but have not yet named the suspect.

Thanks, mainstream media, for giving JNS blog an opportunity to eat your lunch. The arrested suspect is Leroy Longs, Jr. whose address on the jail roster is listed as...
...4942 Emerson Ave. N., a property that is neither fish nor fowl, neither homestead nor rental property, what is up with THAT? The owner is listed as Latanya Morris of the same address.
Leroy Longs has a modest criminal rap sheet. Not all the following CHARGES may actually represent CONVICTIONS:
02-T9-99-015962 X 232075 LONGS, LEROY, Jr. 07/13/1979 06/28/1999 Anoka Non- Traffic Misdemeanor Converted Closed URINATE IN PUBLIC M
(Proof, said a participant in the North Vent Facebook forum, that public urination is the beginning of a downward spiral)

He resided in Worthington, Minnesota when all these charges were filed. The name Timothy K. Connell is the judge, not sure why it's messed up in that portion of MNCIS, but whatever.

The owner of the house where Leroy supposedly lives, Latanya Morris, may have a bit of a record as well if she's the same as THIS person by the same name:

Individuals talking on the North Vent Facebook forum are outraged to hear of "Michael Vick" dog fighting and, ironically, THEY WANT BLOOD. For the time being, Longs is being held on NO BAIL which is just as well for him.
Hey Johnny, sorry for the off-topic question, but how do you find out who owns an apartment building in Minneapolis? I'm having some neighbor problems and its going nowhere with the police, I need to talk to the property owners. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteI don't think the StarTribune is too worried about you scooping them with the name. Ethical journalists do not report the name of a person until they are charged. But then we all know you have no ethnics, never have, never will.
ReplyDeletejohnny u ALWAYSSSSS talking about somebody. SHUTTT UPP !
ReplyDeleteFirst of all that is the same Latanya ass whole, and second this shit is false allegations,
ReplyDeleteHere's the website to look up who owns a property in Minneapolis.

Good job, Johnny, for reporting the apparent suspect.
ReplyDeleteI know Mr long personal in my house got raided behind all of this. This man never fought nor talked about fighting any kind of dog or dogs, note I live with him. He love and take care of numerous dog's that is his passion in life. Like I said I live with him and my things were taken in a raid they have NOTHING remotely close to him that says dog fighting or neglect or and animal cruelty. Mr. Longs just nursed back to health a dog with cancer at my house kept a dog that was born with birth defects that's the one they showing on TV that did not come from dog fighting veterinarian can tell you that all his dog is license up to date shots and the media/news that the dogs didn't have food or at all the dog kennels the food sit outside the dog kennel and they get feed on a schedule dog food is expensiveI can take pictures if anybody would like to see free Leroy Longs jr
ReplyDeleteHERE IS THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT. Will write more about this later but for the moment I am just going to disseminate this.

Johnny correctly identified Leroy Longs as the person having been accused of animal cruelty. If, as stated by Anonymous 11/27/13 @ 11:27pm Mr. Longs is innocent of the accusations, then I hope he prevails in the court system. I don't like pit bulls, but to each his own, as long as folks keep them away from children. Pits tend to occasionally eat children.
ReplyDeleteMore interesting details. The tracker was mentioned in the complaint, but not the addresses searched as a result of the tracking.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/233020371.html
"Thanks to his movements being tracked by police with a GPS device, the man was charged with keeping the dogs in eight locations in or near the city, breeding them and training them for battle."
Look at all the JNS Jail Roster appearances for 3106 Irving Av. N.

I posted a link to the criminal complaint in this comment stream, above, so fast that I hardly had time to LOOK at the criminal complaint and I still haven't gotten back to taking in all the info it contains. So pardon this question...
ReplyDeleteWhere are you getting those addresses? Right off the criminal complaint? Or elsewhere?
The addresses are listed in this STRIB story link posted above
ReplyDeletehttp://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/233020371.html
Longs unwittingly gave police a precise road map of his incriminating movements, according to the criminal complaint, because Sgt. Lindsay Herron had a GPS device placed on his vehicle.
“Based on that,” the complaint read, “she was able to identify eight locations [the] defendant visited on a regular basis.”
The seven Minneapolis addresses where dogs were found are: 2918 Girard Av. N., both units; 1730 Oliver Av. N.; 2101 6th St. N.; 3750 Bryant Av. N.; 3310 6th St. N.; 1114 21st Av. N., and 3106 Irving Av. N. Dogs also were found at 7819 Angeline Dr. in New Hope.
Johnny, I got the addresses as well from the complaint. I looked them all up - none have the same owner/taxpayer, so it seems to me he was carefully covering his tracks. I could be reading more into it than actually exists. None of the name were familiar to me, but you are much more well-versed than I on slumlords.
ReplyDeleteI got them from the Saturday Strib
ReplyDeletearticle
I left off one address, 2101 N 6TH St
ReplyDeleteCan you do some work for me and provide links to all the property address and name the owner of each property? Kind of tied up at the moment but I think that's necessary work and the next step.
ReplyDeleteMINNEAPOLIS — A 34-year-old Minneapolis man is accused of organizing a dog fighting ring and breeding dogs in at least eight locations.
ReplyDeleteLeroy Longs Jr. was charged Friday with felony animal fighting in Hennepin County.
According the criminal complaint, the animals had scarring "consistent with having been fought." Eighteen dogs, including five puppies, were seized in raids.
A search warrant executed at the home of Long Jr.'s children revealed he had a 240-page book on how to become a successful dog fighter.
Longs is in the Hennepin County Jail with bail set at $15,000. His first court appearance is Monday.
A woman who answered the phone Saturday at a number listed to Longs in Minneapolis didn't want to comment.

ReplyDelete"Asshole" is the correct spelling.
Not "ass whole."
Screamingly funny illiteracy, though, and thanks for THAT little chuckle.
