On 5/3/2025, an officer was on patrol at a Kwik Trip in the City of East Bethel in the County of Anoka when he observed a vehicle. The officer noted that the driver and passenger attempted to shield their faces when he passed through the parking lot. The officer ran the plates of the vehicle, and noted that the registered owner was in Ceylon, Minnesota, some 140 miles away, and it was clear that neither the driver nor the passenger was the registered owner. The Officer followed, and, after an observed traffic violation, initiated a traffic stop.
The driver, later identified as Kale Devlin Roy [DOB REDACTED], herein Defendant, falsely identified himself as "Kyle Darren Gamble, [DOB REDACTED]." The officer observed that the ignition of the vehicle was removed, and it was being driven with a screwdriver. The officer was able to ascertain that the Gamble identity was false due to several clues, and Defendant admitted to lying about his identity. The Defendant had an active, confirmed, body only warrant, and was placed under arrest. The Passenger, SLZ advised that the vehicle belonged to her friend, and gave their name, but that name was not the same as the registered owner.
Due to the vehicle lacking insurance, lack of consent from the registered owner, the ignition being removed, and SLZ lacking a driver's license, the Officers ordered a tow of the vehicle. During the search of the vehicle, Officers discovered Methamphetamines located in the center console and under the floorboards of the vehicle, and loose cannabis flower under the floorboards and in the trunk. The Midwest Regional Forensic laboratory tested the suspected methamphetamine, and found that in total, they contained 12.056 grams of methamphetamine.
