On or about September 13, 2025, Officers from the Fridley Police Department were dispatched to a Menards store located in the City of Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota, on a delayed fraud report. Officers arrived and spoke with Menards Asset Protection, who reported that on or about September 8, 2025, a male and female entered the store location and selected $614.06 worth of merchandise from the store. The male paid for the merchandise in full with a Huntington Bank check belonging to KYLE DOUGLES SECORD [DOB REDACTED], defendant hereinafter.
The two then exited the store with the merchandise. Menards was notified that the check issued by the Defendant could not be cashed due to the account being frozen/blocked. Detectives obtained a copy of the check and the store surveillance. The check contained a driver’s license number that was nearly exact except that the first letter was an X and not a Y. The phone number provided was also associated with Defendant. Officers reviewed the surveillance video from Menards and compared it to known photos of the Defendant and confirmed it was a match.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for Defendant’s Huntington Bank Account and learned that Defendant opened the account in July of 2025 and closed it on September 19, 2025. There was a notice of insufficient funds attached to the account, which indicated that on September 8, 2025, there was $10.18 in Defendant’s account. Menards mailed a notice of nonpayment via certified mail on or about September 14, 2025, to the address listed on the check provided by Defendant. Defendant has not made a payment to Menards.
