It was back in 2010 when I wrote about William Earl Champion and his arrest. It was actually because of William Earl Champion that I first became aware of the online Hennepin County jail roster, which has become a key component in my blogging. This was all because of William Early Champion...and, well, whoever it was who put me on the scent.

But years later I still don't have proof in my hands that William Earl Champion is related to anybody else in North Minneapolis named "Champion," or the alleged-to-exist "North Minneapolis Champion Crime Family."

But this much I know...

Champion has lived in North Minneapolis in the 55412 zip code since at least 1988, when he was charged with (OMG) KIDNAPPING but ultimately pled to false imprisonment.

Since that time, he has stayed in the 55412 zip code and accumulated a raft of charges. Here is the rest of his rap sheet, not all of which may represent actual convictions.

Looking into William Earl Champion turned up another interesting "Champion" who lives in the 55411 zip code, which is Edward Odell Champion. The relationship of Edward to William or anybody else named Champion is unknown, but I don't need to know how everything fits together to, for example, publish somebody's criminal record.

Stay tuned.
