STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE

The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause:

Your complainant is an Investigator employed by the Rochester Police Department. In that capacity, your complainant has reviewed the police reports relating to Jordan Mitchell Blevins, the abovenamed defendant, and the allegations contained therein. Based upon that information, your complainant believes the following to be true and correct.

On April 13,2010 and April 14,2010, officers with the Rochester Police Department responded to several calls of shots being fired at residences within the city of Rochester. Three calls came in to the Law Enforcement Center communications: one at 11 :33 p.m. on April 13, 2010 from 902 NW 11th Avenue; one at 2:04 a.m. on April 14, 2010 from 902 NW 11th Avenue; and one at 2:29 a.m. on April 14,2010 from 19 NE 7th Avenue. Callers did not report any description of a suspect(s) and at the time and officers did not locate any evidence of actual shots having been fired. On April 14, 2010, dayshift officers were called to 1005 NW 11 th Avenue to meet with the resident who discovered her house had been shot. Evidence of gunshots were found at the house, including two expended projectiles and three spent shell casings. The projectiles and shell casings appeared consistent with a shotgun and the projectile was consistent with a 'slug.'

At approximately 6:55 a.m. on April 14,2010, LEC Communications received a 9-1-1 call from a citizen who was reporting a white male wearing jeans and a black shirt was walking around the 100 block of SW 13th Avenue carrying a "rifle" and telling people to "get down." Officers arrived and searched the area but did not immediately locate the suspect with the rifle. At approximately 7:31 a.m. on April 14,2010 St. Mary's Emergency Department (ED) called LEC Communications to report a male with a gunshot wound in the ED. Officers arrived at St. Mary's and identified the male with the gunshot wound as Jordan Mitchell Blevins,DOB 04-14-82. Blevin was rushed to surgery with a gunshot wound to his left arm. St. Mary's personnel reported a gray-colored pickup had dropped off Blevins and an unknown person drove off in the pickup. The pickup was later located in the parking ramp at St. Mary's Hospital. Two long guns, one shotgun, and one rifle were observed in plain view in the truck as well as blood on the inside and outside of the vehicle. The vehicle, MN WJ2-076, registers to Laura Ann and Jess Alan Boardman.

Patrol officers made contact with Laura Ann Boardman, DOB/12-21-74, at 14 SW 16th Avenue. Ms. Boardman acknowledged that Jordan Blevins lives with her at this address. RPD records also show this address as a current one for Blevins. Investigators H. Seim and B. Petersen arrived at 14 SW 16th Avenue and Investigator Petersen spoke with Ms. Boardman. In her statement she stated that she and Blevins went to Beer Bellyz Bar in Rochester to celebrate Blevins' birthday. They left the bar at approximately 2:00 a.m. and she was driving her gray pickup (MN WJ2-076 which was found in the St. Mary's ramp) and Blevins was the passenger. Blevins was "aggressive" and agitated and had been this way for approximately one week. She stated that Blevins has not been taking his "Addorall"

for his "ADHD" because he ran out. As they were driving, Blevins produced a shotgun and rifle and began firing at houses as they drove. Ms. Boardman stated that the shotgun and rifle belong to her and she did not know Blevins had them in her truck. She stated that he was yelling at her and ordering her to drive around. He would tell her to stop suddenly and he would shoot at a house and they would then drive away. Ms. Boardman, when asked Investigator Petersen, denied being threatened by Blevins, instead saying "it's complicated." When asked to clarify, she was unable and stated that she was "stressed" by all of this. Ms. Boardman could not estimate how many times Blevins shot at houses.

Ms. Boardman stated to Investigator Petersen that after driving around for approximately one-hour, Blevins told her to drive to "Brian's" house to pick him up. "Brian" was later identified as B.A.R. (referred to herein as victim), DOB 05-14- 86, living at 1427 E. Center Street. Ms. Boardman states that after picking up victimn, they all drive back to her and Blevins' residence. Ms. Boardman stated that she went in to the house and went to bed at approximately 3:00 a.m. and victim and Blevins remained in the house but she does not know what they did or if they ever left. Ms. Boardman stated that at approximately 7:00 a.m. she heard Blevins upset about his dog, "Charlie," having run off. Ms. Boardman heard the door slam and believes that Blevins left the residence. She did not see Blevins with a firearm when he left because she had been up in the shower at the time.

Victim was interviewed by Sgt. Pingel on April 14, 2010. Victim stated that he and his roommates rent 1427 East Center Street from Laura Boardman. They pay $1,100.00 per month in rent and they were short approximately $225.00 in rent for April. Victim stated that approximately one week ago, Blevins came to collect the remaining $225.00 and they were only able to come up with $200.00, with an outstanding balance of approximately $25.00. Blevins demanded cigarettes and energy drinks, which victim and his roommates bought for him. Victim and his roommates felt that the cigarettes and energy drinks probably cost around $25.00 so they were squared up on their rent. Blevins, however, felt differently and still wanted the $25.00.

On April 14,2010 at approximately 3:00 a.m., victim stated that there was pounding at the door at 11427 East Center Street and he opened the door and it was Blevins, armed with a shotgun. Blevins entered the house demanding the $25.00. Blevins was making statements about how tough he was and fired a round out of the shotgun into the couch in the living room. Victim's roommate, J.C., was sitting on the couch when the shot was fired. Victim described that Blevins was wearing a "tactical" type vest that was filled with live shotgun shells. Victim stated that Blevins appeared intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. J.C. gave Blevins $25.00 in cash. Victim stated that he asked Blevins to allow him to go to the bathroom. As he was in the bathroom, he heard J.C. shriek in pain. When victim exited the bathroom, he saw J.C. bleeding from the head and Blevins holding a collapsible baton. Blevins told victim to come with him and victim complies. Victim stated that he was afraid for his life and thought he was going to be shot and killed by Blevins. Victim stated that when they exit the house and get in to the pickup truck, Ms. Boardman is driving. All three of them (Ms. Boardman, Blevins and

I

I -

victim) drive back to Ms. Boardman and Blevins' house (14 SW 16th Ave). Victim stated that Ms. Boardman went to bed and he and Blevins remained in Blevins' bedroom. Victim stated that Blevins was rambling about wanting victim to become a Freemason with him (Blevins) and other nonsensical statements. Victim stated that Blevins produced a handgun in the bedroom and pointed it at his (victim's) head and then Blevins demands that victim swing a sword at him, and hands victim a sword. Victim stated he refused to swing the sword at Blevins, but Blevins threatened to shoot victim with the handgun if victim does not. Victim stated that he and Blevins begin sword-fighting because Blevins stated he wanted to teach victim how to sword fight. During the sword fight, victim cuts his finger and then Blevins cuts his own finger and puts his bloody finger on victim's bloody finger, stating they are now "blood brothers."

After several hours, victim and Blevins went downstairs and Blevins realized that this dog, "Charlie," got loose and ran off. Victim stated that Blevins exited the house with the rifle and fires some shots up in the air from the rifle. Victim stated that Blevins orders victim to drive around so they can look for the dog. As they are driving around, the dog is located by some people near St. Mary's Hospital. Blevins gets his dog in the truck and puts the shotgun under the dog's chin. Victim figured that Blevins was going to shoot the dog. A shot rang out in the truck, but Blevins missed shooting the dog and instead shot himself in the arm. Because of their close proximity to St. Mary's, victim offers to drop Blevins off at the emergency room. Blevins agreed and is dropped off by victim. Blevins and victim both go in to the emergency department, but victim is told by security he can go no further. Victim leaves the hospital and takes the pickup to the parking ramp, where he parks it. Victim takes the dog and walks back to Ms. Boardman's residence. Victim stated that he and Ms. Boardman were contemplating and debating about calling the police for some time and do call the non-emergency number at approximately 8:20 a.m., but are put on hold. By this time officers were already in the area and made contact with victim and Ms. Boardman.

Officers with the Street Crimes Unit went to 1427 East Center and located the couch with a bullet hole in it. A 'slug' round from a shot gun was recovered from inside the couch. J.C. was also located at this address and stated that he had been struck in the head with a collapsible baton by Blevins.

Blevins was spoken to at St. Mary's by Investigators Bush and Bruessel. Blevins admits to driving around in the pickup with victim and stated that they were looking for his (Blevins') dog. Blevins then stated he was shot, but could not explain how he was shot or who shot him. Blevins admitted that there was a shotgun in the truck, however he denied ever touching it.

A review of Belvins' extensive criminal history includes a conviction for Robbery from Hillsborough County, Florida dated January 25, 2005.
