On 12/12/2025 at 0756 hours, Maplewood Police were dispatched to the Ramsey County Workhouse ([ADDRESS REDACTED] S) in Maplewood, Ramsey County for an assault that took place on 12/11/2025 at about 1905 hours. Upon arrival, police were shown CCTV footage from C-Pod that showed inmate Kamaal Rea BROWN (08-30-2006) grab a broomstick and strike another inmate, “CAR”, while he CAR was seated in a chair. The broomstick hit CAR in the head with such force that it broke. Police interviewed CAR who said he was sitting watching TV and BROWN wanted him to change the channel.
CAR said he wasn’t changing the channel and then got struck with something in the back of his head. CAR was sent to Regions Hospital where 5 staples were needed to close the wound on his head. In a post-Miranda interview, BROWN said he asked CAR to change the TV channel and CAR threatened to harm him. BROWN said he then "blacked out" and did not recall what happened next. BROWN said he has undiagnosed schizophrenia and sees and hears things that other people cannot see or hear. BROWN is in custody on an unrelated matter.
A warrant, therefore, is requested. For purposes of Rule 6.
