On 04/16/2026, officers responded to a crash at East 33rd Street and Snelling Avenue East involving a confirmed stolen BMW traveling at a high rate of speed. Witnesses observed two males run from the stolen BMW. Those witnesses were able to apprehend the driver, who was identified as JAKARO JOHN SWARN ([DOB redacted]), Defendant herein. A witness reported that he observed the stolen BMW speeding southbound on Snelling before it struck a Chevrolet Tahoe. Car 21 collected a black surgical mask and a vape from the BMW from the driver’s floor board area.

The passenger who fled was also wearing a black surgical mask. The BMW was confirmed out of Saint Paul on 04/05/2026 without keys. The victim left her car at work and had the keys with her when it was stolen. One of the people injured in the accident sustained a sprained pinky finger and general soreness. Another person sustained minor burns from airbag powder. It is common for individuals who are travelling in stolen cars to be wearing masks to assist in concealing their identity. Defendant is not in custody for this offense.

Given the fact Defendant was driving a stolen car in a dangerous manner and crashed into another car, the State requests a warrant out of concern for public safety. Defendant has a pending felony in ••-CR-••-•••• and committed this new offense while on conditional release for that.
