STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE

The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause:

Your complainant is an investigator with the Airport Police and bases this complaint on a review of reports andupon his own investigation.

On January 3, 2012, H.B. flew into the Twin Cities airport, but his gate checked bag did not arrive with him.The next day United Airlines contacted H.B. and told him that his missing bag had been located. H.B. went tothe airport to retrieve his bag, but when he arrived the bag was not there. H.B. said that he had an AmericanExpress credit card, an Apple iPad 2, Dell laptop computer, and Bose noise cancelling headphones in the bag.

Detective Seelig was able to view the airport's Closed Circuit Television system. Detective Seelig saw a youngman with a University of Minnesota duffle bag walk around the carousel baggage claim area for a while. Theman takes a roller bag from carousel 11 and then takes another bag from carousel 12. The man then leftthe baggage level and was seen entering a blue Dodge Avenger with Minnesota license plate 912ATN.

On January 11, 2012 at approximately 12:59 pm, H.B.'s credit card was used to purchase $35.07 in gas at aHoliday gas station in Minneapolis. At 2:20 pm that same day, H.B.'s credit card was used to purchase $228.34of items at a GNC store in Minneapolis. The person using the card created a Gold Card during the transactionin the name of Chris James. The address "Chris James" provided was 769 San Wan, Riverside, CA 92879. At3:50 pm that same day, H.B.'s credit card was used to purchase another $104.06 in items at the GNC storelocated at the Rosedale Mall located in Roseville, Ramsey County. That same day, H.B.'s credit card was usedat the Macy's located in the Rosedale Mall to purchase items for $462.00. A later transaction at 5:29 pm onH.B.'s credit card in the amount of $169.00 was declined at the same Macy's.

Investigators were able to recover surveillance video of the Macy's purchase and saw a tall, muscular youngblack male wearing University of Minnesota clothing make the purchase.

On January 14, 2012, H.B. returned home and discovered that his bag had been returned with an apology noteattached. H.B. indicated that most of his expensive items had been returned, but he was concerned about his carkey not having been returned. H.B. was able to determine that an iPhone and an Apple computer had beenvisiting his web site nearly every hour and he was afraid whoever had the key was planning on locating andstealing his car. H.B. had the locks to his home changed.

On January 23, 2012, Detective Christensen received a phone call from a woman claiming to be the mother of the young man responsible for the missing bag. She said he was trying to mail H.B. $900.00 in order to payhim back for the missing items. The woman said that her son was Shaun Edwards, his date of birth was May 5,1991, and he lived in Arizona. The woman said that her son felt really bad about the situation. Also on the

phone was S.W., the daughter of the Dodge Avenger's registered owner. S.W. said she picked Shaun Edwardsup from the airport on January 4, 2012. While en route to a friend's house, Edwards realized he had the wrongbag.

Detective Christensen received another phone call from the woman, but this time GE’SHUN EDWARD

HARRIS (DOB: 5-5-1991) was also on the phone. Harris said he grabbed the wrong bag from the carousel anddid not return it because he did not want to be arrested for stealing the bag. Harris said he touched some of theitems inside the bag and because of that he threw those items away. Harris claimed that he only went throughthe bag in order to try to reunite it with its owner. Harris admitted visiting the blog of the bag's owner.

Detective Christensen located photos of Ge’Shun Harris from the Minnesota Gopher football roster, and he

verified that the images matched the images of the thief from the airport and Macy's store.
