Mohamed Ibrahim Jama

Cloud Police Department responded to a 911 hangup located on 16th Street SE in St. Cloud, Sherburne County, Minnesota. Dispatch advised hearing a woman yelling that there was an emergency and then the call disconnected. Dispatch attempted to call the number back and received no response. Officer Casas spoke with Victim, an adult female fully identified in the reports. Victim confirmed she was the 911 caller and that she had gotten into an argument with her husband. Victim advised the argument escalated, and her husband, identified as Mohamed Ibrahim Jama, D. O. B. 1/1/1985, obtained a knife from the kitchen and began cutting his own calf with the knife.

Jama told Victim that if she called police, he would make police think that she stabbed him, and no one would believe her. Victim stated she began recording Jama, which upset him. He took her phone away as she was calling 911, and hung it up. Jama told Victim again that the police would not believe her, and then stated he was going to kill her. Victim asked Jama to stay calm and not hurt her. Victim described that when Jama made the threat, he used an over the head motion with the knife in his right hand.

Victim described that Jama was very close to her and she was frightened he would stab her. Victim stated at one point, Jama grabbed her hard by the neck with his left hand, but let her go after she swiped his hand away. Jama ran upstairs with her cell phone and the knife. He then left their home when he realized law enforcement were coming. Victim reported he left in his vehicle, a black Nissan Altima. The knife was discovered in the bedroom with a small amount of blood on the tip. The knife was a yellow handled chef’s knife with a broken tip.

Jama was later located with his vehicle. Officer Gauerke photographed an injury to his calf and neck. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: Pursuant to Minn. Stat. 609.49, intentional failure to appear for duly scheduled court appearances may result in additional criminal charges, and in addition to any arrest warrant that may otherwise be issued by the Court.
