Rondal Lever Hammond

On 3/31/2026 at about 19:00 hours, a St. Paul Police Officer was patrolling near 7th St W and 6th St W in St. Paul, Ramsey County. The officer saw a Metro Transit bus change lanes and heard the bus honk at an electric bicycle that was riding in the lane the bus was trying to change into. The Officer was riding a Trikke (a three-wheeled pedalless personal vehicle) and initiated the Trikke’s emergency lights and siren to get the biker's attention. The biker, later identified as Randal Lever HAMMOND (DOB/1977-10-04), did not stop.

As the officer tried to catch up, HAMMOND rode several blocks, rode between a parked car and a car driving on St. Peter St., and then rode onto a sidewalk at 5th St E and Cedar St. He continued onto Cedar St where he got off the bike and began entering a building at [ADDRESS REDACTED]. The Officer detained HAMMOND and explained why he was being stopped. HAMMOND had active warrants. One warrant was for a probation violation for Possessing Ammo/Firearm (62CR232961) and the other was for Domestic Assault (62CR257646). HAMMOND was also non-compliant on his predatory offender status.

During a search incident to arrest, police found a knife in HAMMOND’s right front pocket and a clear plastic container containing suspected narcotics in his left chest pocket. The substance in the container later field tested positive for both fentanyl and cocaine with a net weight of 5.2 grams. HAMMOND is a risk level 2 predatory offender. He is required by law, to register with the BCA due to a Pine County conviction for Criminal Sexual Conduct -1st Deg-Under the age of 13.
