That on or about July 1, 2025, at approximately 2221 hours, Minneapolis Police Officer A. S. Responded to a report of a male slumped in his vehicle at Willow St. And Yale Pl. This location is in the City of Minneapolis, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota. Officer A. S. Observed the male, hereinafter Defendant, in the driver’s seat of the running vehicle with the keys in the ignition and the windows down. Defendant was subsequently identified via his MN DVS temporary ID as KENNETH CORDELL WILLIAMS [DOB REDACTED]. Officers observed a white powdery substance on Defendant’s hands.
Defendant’s breathing appeared labored, and he was sweating profusely. He was not responsive to officer flashlights or voices. When he was ultimately woken up, Defendant appeared confused and disoriented. As he stepped out of the vehicle he stumbled and displayed difficulty walking and standing. Defendant was arrested and Officer A. S. Drafted a search warrant for collection of Defendant’s blood or urine which was signed by the Hon. Judge N. Peralta at 2245 hours. He informed Defendant of the nature of the search warrant and that refusal to provide a sample was a crime.
Defendant consented to a blood test and sample was collected pursuant to the warrant which later testing by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension showed the presence of cocaine, benzoylecgonine (a metabolite of cocaine), morphine, fentanyl, and norfentanyl, all Schedule II controlled substances. A review of Defendant’s driving record revealed one prior qualifying impaired driving event in the last 10 years on May 20, 2021.
