On or about May 3, 2025, at approximately 4:17 A.M., police were dispatched upon the report of a traffic accident to 45th Street East near Nicollet Avenue in the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Dispatch informed the officers that a 911 caller reported that a vehicle traveling down 45th Street struck a parked car causing a roller-over accident. When officers arrived at the scene of the accident, they observed a 2021 BMW 228Xi (MN ZGV694) whose airbags had deployed laying on its roof in the middle of the street and a heavily damaged parked green Volvo.
Officers also observed a trail of blood emerging from the front passenger's side of the upside-down BWM. A witness told the officers that the BMW's driver and passengers walked away from the crash scene towards a house across the street. The officers located three individuals in an alley behind the house. One of two women in the group was bleeding from her foot and smelled of alcohol, so officers detained the group and called for medical assistance. Both women told officers the man in the group was the driver of the BMW at the time of the accident.
Officers eventually identified the driver as Eduardo Daniel AMARO CAMPOS [DOB REDACTED], Defendant hereinafter, and they noticed his face had abrasions that appeared to match locations on the deployed driver's side airbag where blood was detected. While being treated by medics, Defendant admitted he was driving the BMW at the time of the accident, and that the group was coming from club Reign in Uptown. After detecting a strong odor of alcohol in the ambulance where Defendant was being treated, officers placed Defendant under arrest upon a suspicion of driving while impaired.
Because Defendant sustained a head injury during the accident, officers did not conduct field sobriety tests and instead obtained a warrant to search Defendant's blood or urine for the presence of alcohol. At 6:17 A.M., after consenting to a search, a vial of Defendant's blood was drawn an later sent to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension where testing determined his blood alcohol concentration ("BAC") was 0.105. On January 2, 2025, Defendant's driver's license was revoked under Minnesota's Implied Consent Law, following an alcohol related driving incident were Defendant took a breath test that reported his BAC was 0.14.
