On June 18, 2025, Rogers Police Officers responded to a check forgery report from Miller Chevrolet, [ADDRESS REDACTED], Rogers, Hennepin County. The reporting party, E. R., an employee from Miller Chevrolet, reported that two of their business checks had been "washed" and fraudulently deposited. In May of 2024, Miller Chevrolet wrote two checks to legitimate businesses, then in June of 2025, they were washed, re-written for other amounts to different people than their original recipients, and attempted to be reused.
The first check, check number 174209, was originally written to Wiczeks Floors and More for $8,893.23, mailed in May of 2024 and cashed to the correct recipient. In June of 2025, Miller Chevrolet received a call from Wings Credit Union, [ADDRESS REDACTED] S, Edina, Hennepin County. Wings Credit Union stated that check number 174209 had been washed, the recipient changed to J. G., endorsed by "J. G.," the amount changed to $2,638.12, the date changed to May 29, 2025, and deposited at their ATM on June 4, 2025. Wings Credit Union stated that J. G.'s account was flagged for other fraudulent activity.
The second check, check number 174210, was originally written to Monticello DMV for $19,301.37 in May of 2024. In June of 2025, Miller Chevrolet received a call from BMO Bank stating that check number 174210 attempted to be deposited through mobile deposit for a Capital One account on June 3, 2025. This check was not cleared. Officers learned there was a string of incidents related to J. G.'s bank account where the first check was deposited. J. G. Had given AYUUB ABDISHAKUR ALI, Defendant herein, permission to have J. G.'s property released to the Defendant.
The Defendant removed J. G.'s property including his cell phone, wallet, and financial cards from the Hennepin County Jail on May 30, 2025. The Defendant is seen on surveillance signing for the property. The Defendant is on Wings Credit Union surveillance depositing the Miller Chevrolet check into J. G.'s account at 1710 hours on June 3, 2025. The Defendant is the driver's side back seat passenger in a red Ford Fusion bearing Minnesota License plate [PLATE REDACTED]. The Defendant uses J. G.'s debit card to access J. G.'s account at the ATM. The Defendant then inserts the washed check from Miller Chevrolet into the ATM and deposits it into J. G.'s account.
The Defendant then uses an iPhone and appears to take a picture of the ATM screen. The Defendant withdraws $500 in cash and retrieve's J. G.'s debit card from the ATM. J. G. Did not give the Defendant permission to wash a check, deposit it into his account, and then take money out. The red Ford Fusion then proceeds to the Wings Credit Union in Apple Valley and deposits $1,000 into J. G.'s account with a different check at 1922 hours and withdraws more money without permission. The Defendant was identified through Minnesota Repository of Arrest Photos and past BWC video which showed a unique skin coloration on the Defendant's neck and forearm tattoos that can be seen in surveillance.
