On October 25, 2025, officers took a report from a reporting party about a series of threatening phone calls he had received that day from MELISSA JOSEPHINE GUBASH [DOB REDACTED]. The reporting party told officers he was a resident of the City of Inver Grove Heights, County of Dakota, State of Minnesota and that GUBASH has called him and threatened to come to his house and shoot him and his children. Officers reviewed the call log for the reporting party’s phone and saw that between 8:42 P.M. And 8:57 P.M., GUBASH called the reporting party eight times.
The reporting party provided several recorded phone calls between himself and GUBASH to officers containing threats. During one of those calls, GUBASH told the reporting party “I’ll f****** kill you. I’ll send a firing squad straight to your house and we’ll f****** kill you. … I will shoot you in the m************ head.” During another call GUBASH threatened to kill the reporting party’s children in front of him if anything happened to her children. Specifically, GUBASH threatened to tie the reporting party down and force him to watch as she shot his children in their eyeballs.
The reporting party told officers he was concerned for his and his children’s safety based on the threats made by GUBASH and indicated he was thinking about staying at a hotel for some time. A search of GUBASH’S criminal history shows a prior conviction for a Misdemeanor Violation of a Harassment Restraining Order on December 14, 2023, in Goodhue County. Based on the allegations in the Complaint, a warrant is requested in order to impose conditions of release sufficient to ensure public safety.
