Dominic Larson Aron

On January 16, 2026, law enforcement responded to the area of Chicago/14th Street in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota for a report of a male making threats to a TRIP agent on a bus. Law enforcement learned that Dominic Aron, [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, was issued an administration citation by TRIP Agent, D. H., for not paying his bus fare. The Defendant then told D. H., “If we start jumping on your ass, you’ll stop harassing me.” D. H. Said the Defendant continued making other threats and D. H. Said he was afraid the Defendant was going to assault him.

Law enforcement searched the Defendant incident to arrest and found a can of tear gas in the Defendant’s possession. The can is labeled "American Style NATO Super-Paralisant." The labeling on the can appears to be mostly in German but the ingredients list includes "ortho-chlorbenzylidenmalononitril" which is another name for the chemical orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile, which is listed in MN Statute: 624.731 as tear gas. The Defendant is prohibited from carrying tear gas because of prior violent felony convictions, including a conviction in ••-CR-••-••••, Assault-2nd Degree-Dangerous Weapon-Substantial Bodily Harm.

The Defendant is in custody.
