Shwe Nya Myay

The following is based on your complainant’s review of the reports of other officers and your complainant’s own investigation: On June 8, 2026, at about 2:30pm, St. Paul Police responded to a home on Jessamine Ave. E., St. Paul, Ramsey County on a report that the defendant, SHWE NYA MYAY (8/18/1970), had been seen on video in the garage there, in violation of a harassment restraining order (HRO). An active HRO against the defendant was confirmed. On arrival, officers found a man resembling the defendant near the garage.

They had difficulty communicating with him. As they searched him for identification and found his wallet. When they opened it, inside was a small baggie containing a clear crystal substance. It was recovered. The man positively identified as the defendant. He told officers that the home had been empty for several months. The HRO was found to prohibit contact with the protected party and to prohibit the defendant from going to her residence. However, the protected party was not present at the time, and officers learned from a family member that the protected party and other family members had not lived at the home for over a year, because of how frequently the defendant would show up.

In a presumptive test, the substance contained in the baggie from the defendant’s wallet tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine, with a total net weight of 0.55 grams. The defendant’s wallet also contained identification and credit cards for three other people. This aspect of the case is under investigation.
