Mohamed Ali Omar

At approximately 7:15 PM on May 18, 2026, Deputy Rosati of the Chaska Police Department responded to a theft call from Tractor Supply, located in the City of Waconia, Carver County. Store staff indicated a black male wearing a brown tracksuit had concealed items and left the store without paying. Staff had attempted to get the male to stop, but he continued to walk away toward Goodwill. Deputy Rosati located a male matching the description provided who was later identified to be Mohamed Ali Omar [DOB REDACTED], hereinafter Defendant, running from the area.

Deputy Rosati ordered the male to stop. When Defendant produced his identification, a bag containing what appeared to be ammunition dropped from his pants. Deputy Rosati then conducted a frisk of Defendant and located what felt like a firearm in his waistband. The item turned out to be a revolver-style BB gun with the security tag still attached. The BB gun was loaded, and resembled a real firearm. The BB gun was determined to have been taken from Tractor Supply and had a value of $89.99. Defendant was searched and a number of suspected stolen items were located, along with a glass smoking pipe and counterfeit currency.

During Defendant's transport to the Carver County Jail Defendant had indicated he was experiencing chest pains. Defendant admitted to using methamphetamine earlier in the day. When Deputy Rosati went to check on Defendant he located two small baggies near Defendant's feet containing a crystalline substance that later field tested positive as methamphetamine and weighed approximately.6 grams. Defendant has a prior conviction for 5th Degree Controlled Substance Possession in Court File 14-CR-21- 1558. 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.
