Rome Darring

On about December 2, 2025, officers were called to a group home in Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County, Minnesota for a report of a firearm. When officers arrived, they spoke with an employee who said he went into Defendant Rome Darring's [DOB REDACTED] room to give him his nightly medication and the employee saw a firearm on Defendant's bed. The employee said it was a silver Smith and Wesson handgun. Defendant asked the employee not to tell anyone. After receiving this information, officers got a search warrant for Defendant's room.

Officers searched Defendant's room pursuant to that search warrant and found a black and silver Smith and Wesson handgun underneath the fitted sheet on Defendant's mattress. Based on a review of Defendant's criminal history, he is prohibited from possession a firearm based on a conviction in case 93CF000028440011 (Cook County, IL) where he was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault with force, and residential burglary. Defendant is currently in custody.
