On March 16, 2026, officers were sent to the apartment building at [ADDRESS REDACTED] South, St. Paul, Ramsey County on a domestic. Officers spoke to BG [DOB REDACTED] who said her son, MICHAEL ANDRES TORRES [DOB REDACTED], lives in a different apartment in the building. Torres came by BG’s apartment 3-4 times over a 20-minute period. Torres pounded on the door, kicked the door, and he threatened to break the door down. Officers noted damage to the interior door which was not opening. BG explained she had a dispute with Torres over $40 that Torres had sent her via Apple Pay.
On March 15, 2026, Torres sent BG threatening texts. BG told Torres to get help, and that if he came upstairs again she was calling police, pressing charges, and getting a restraining order. Torres replied: “Shut the fuck up bitch – I hate you – I’ll beat your ass up – calm em em fat bitch – I wanna hoe – Down – Die.” BG told Torres he was threatening and terrorizing her home and BG’s daughters. Torres replied: “Go fucking die.” On March 16, 2026, BG sent Torres $20 through Apple Pay. Torres replied by text: “Bitch – I sent u 40 – Ima gonna kill u bitch.” BG then sent Torres another $20 through Apple Pay.
Torres replied: “Don’t come outside without a weapon.” Officers spoke to Torres’ sister, ET [DOB REDACTED] who was crying and appeared visibly upset. ET was present when Torres kicked the door and tried to get inside. ET said Torres’ actions made her fear for her safety. While on the outside of BG’s apartment door Torres said, “Let her know when I see her, I am going to kill her. You wanna talk? You’re going to get beat too. I’m going to come in and hurt all of you.” Officers made contact with Torres who eventually exited his apartment and was arrested.
Torres declined a custodial statement.
