Antonio Timberlake, Criminal Associate Of "Turd Burglar" Navarr Ross, Goes Down For 11 Charges Associated With Four Robberies, Famous Turd Burglar Navarr Ross Was Involved In One Of Those Robberies, Already Doing Time...(CORRECTED BLOG POST)

ADDENDUM, FEBRUARY 20: This blog post originally described Antonio Timberlake as one of the "turd burglars" arrested at the scene of a Thanksgiving robbery. In fact, Timberlake was NOT involved in that robbery. Rather, he was associated with Navarr Ross--a known and convicted member of the turd burglarly ring--and committed eleven armed robberies, and in one of those robberies Ross was an accoplice. JNS blog strives for accuracy and when error comes to my attention, I jump to make correction. 

In a press release today by the Hennepin County Attorney, that office announced a "straight guilty plea" to 11 charges by Antonio Timberlake, age 17. The eleven charges stemmed from four separate robbery incidents. There was no deal with prosecutors and Timberlake could receive up to 172 months. Two of the victims received life-threatening stab wounds. 

Timberlake had some criminal fame rub off upon him by being associated with Navarr Ross, who was involved in the burglary of a Northside home. Neighbors (one wearing superhero pajamas) assisted police in keeping a passel of juvenile burglars trapped in a house until just moments before...

Navarr Ross, who became infamous as one of the "turd burglars" who committed a Thanksgiving, 2012 burglary at the home of a North Minneapolis senior citizen, is now accused of involvement in a high profile string of violent robberies. The criminal complaints, linked above, tell the tale but also provide a trail of clues to dig up even MORE info...

"Turd Burglar" Update, Part Two, Court Proceedings And Plea Bargains, Plus The Name "Jermaine Washington" Bobs To The Surface...

Contributed photo, blog post by John Hoff

A little more than two months after a broad daylight Thanksgiving burglary attempt against the home of a respected senior citizen, click here for more details, court proceedings against the seven alleged miscreants are moving forward at a constipated pace.

Word reached me awhile ago that Darkese Shorter failed to make a pretrial hearing on January 9. (The title of the email with this information was "Stupid Kid.") Jermaine Washington, whose name I didn't have until the last couple days, reportedly pleaded guilty and among other things will have to attend a gun offender program. Based on this information, the victim of the burglary assumes that Jermaine Washington was armed when he was apprehended after the burglary.

Scary...

Turd Burglar Update, Part One, Victim Impact Statement...

Photo, blog post by John Hoff

It's time for a little update on the suspects in the Thanksgiving Day "turd burlgary" on the 1600 block of Hillside Ave. N.

Some weeks ago, I obtained a copy of the victim impact statement but I held off publishing it for a little while. Even though I'm obviously very hard on these turd burglars, I thought to myself, well, they are JUVENILES after all. Let the system deal with them.

Then I found out some of them haven't made hearings. I will discuss this more in Part Two.

But because some of them missed hearings, it's time to write more. Here is the victim impact statement over this incident, word-for-word...

More Turd Burglar Details, Not A Father To Be Found For The Three Accused Burglars Whose Names Are Known...

blog post by John Hoff

It's Christmas Day, a time when many good people in North Minneapolis travel to see relatives who don't live in the neighborhood.

What are these good people thinking while away from their homes?

They are thinking: Will my home and possessions be safe from turd burglars who break into homes and (allegedly) take a big crap in the toilet and wipe with a whole roll of toilet paper? Or will my entire roll of toilet paper be used up while I am gone, and my 1943 Walking Liberty Silver coin will actually go walking off?

In the holiday spirit (OK, not really, but the date coincides) I have decided it's time to write in more detail about the accused Thanksgiving Day turd burglars who tried hard to ruin Thanksgiving for one elderly citizen of North Minneapolis, but instead sparked a dramatic neighborhood self-defense response which literally included one neighbor running around in superhero pajamas...

Turd Burglar Paper Trail Falls Into The Hands Of JNS BLOG, Oh Geez, There's Something Oh So WRONG About That Sentence...

Incident, blog post by John Hoff

More commentary and details later, for now all I have time to say is three criminal complaints filed against "16 and over" juvenile suspects in a now-infamous Thanksgiving Day burglary incident have made their way to my hands.  I am immediately sharing them with readers, see links below.

The documents are all substantially the same except for the suspect's names and addresses, plus names and addresses of parents at the top of the forms.

I thought it was Christmas the other day when Jill Clark filed a 99 page document full of undiluted, chock-full-of-nuts crazy, but it turns out this is the real Christmas present. Thank you, Santa, for the name of one more accused turd burglar, Allen Michael King, DOB 10/4/95, 2320 Dupont Ave. N.

Complaint, Allen Michael King

Complaint, Marquese Perkins, which may also be spelled Marcquese Perkins, I have seen it both ways.

Complaint, Navarr Ross

More later as I dig into these addresses and names.

Turd Burglar Math, JNS Blog Confirms SEVEN, Yes, SEVEN Turd Burglars Arrested...

Contributed photo, blog post by John Hoff

The other day a maddening little Northside mystery was solved for me. If six turd burglars were arrested after a Thanksgiving Day burglary involving seven burglars, why were only four of them booked?

Two possibilities occurred to me: In the heat and excitement of the moment, the residents involved in calling police and momentarily trapping the burglars in the house (which was key in preventing a getaway, even one of the arresting officers said so) may have miscounted the number of turd burglars emerging from doors and a window.

Or, (second possibility) not all the burglars were booked because some of them were such little fish they may have been released to parents.

If a correction had been in order in regard to the number of burglars originally reported, this blog would have written a correction without hesitation...

No Honor Among Turd Burglars, And No Trial, Either...

Stock photo, from an alley on Newton Ave. N., blog post by John Hoff


Word comes from a reliable source that the four minors apprehended in the midst of a Thanksgiving Day "turd burglary" will all be pleading guilty. Some of the burglars will be testifying against their comrades. All the burglars will be getting probation, forced to pay restitution, and will have to perform community service.

This blogger earnestly hopes the community service will involve cleaning toilets. As for restitution, word is the replacement of the back door cost $467.17.

The burglars will also have to write a letter of apology and, if needed may attend rehab. I am very hopeful their letters of apology will find their way to my hands in the form of PDF files so let's all hope the turd burglars write better than they break and enter.

Furthermore (and this is probably the most humiliating) the burglars will be required to participate in the shooting of a music video for Charlatan of Larceny, a song inspired by their farcical attempts at burglary on Hillside Ave. N. and 22nd Ave. N.

OK, that last part is just me kidding around but, seriously, there's a song in the works.
