Your complainant is employed by the Minnesota State Patrol. In that capacity, complainant has reviewed official reports and has learned substantially the following: On December 7, 2025, at approximately 12:51am, Trooper Haddy and Trooper Gunter were dispatched to a crash in the area of eastbound Interstate 94 and Highway 252 in the City of Brooklyn Center, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota. Upon arrival, troopers located a black 2017 Mercedes Benz (Minn Lic.: HZC844), the suspect vehicle, with the registered owner, identified as Kendraea Artise Guy, [DOB REDACTED], the defendant herein, sitting in the front passenger seat.
Immediately, Trooper Ginter observed a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside of the vehicle, as well as the defendant having bloodshot and glassy eyes, and slow responses to questions. The defendant initially admitted to being the driver of the vehicle, and the defendant agreed to perform the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, to which Trooper Ginter observed all six clues. The defendant declined to submit to a PBT. Later, it was discovered that the defendant was not the driver, but rather the passenger.
During an inventory search of the vehicle, two firearms were located; one behind the front passenger seat and vehicle door, and the other was located behind the front passenger seat on the floorboard. The defendant described the firearm behind her seat, and admitted that it was her firearm. The firarms were a Black P80, 9mm handgun with a magazine, and he other was a SCCY CPX-1, 9mm handgun and magazine. The defendant stated that her permit to carry “might” be expired. A record check revealed that the defendant does not have a valid permit to carry.
The defendant was arrested for being in possession of a firearm and transported to the jail where she was read the Minnesota Firearms Breath Test Advisory and provided an opportunity to speak with an attorney. The defendant refused to take a breath test at 2:24am. Trooper Ginter obtained a search warrant to administer a buccal swab, which was signed by the Honorable Dominick Matthews at 3:18am. The defendant refused to provide a DNA sample and pretended to sleep in the rear of the squad car. The defendant’s reason for refusing is because she had gum in her mouth and that it would “skew the numbers.
