On or about August 4, 2025, P. S., the reporting party, reported a fraud to Coon Rapids Police Department. P. S. Told law enforcement that on or about June 10, 2025, until on or about July 24, 2025, approximately 56 unauthorized transactions occurred on her Wells Fargo debit card totaling $1,134.17 from a gambling website. The gambling website confirmed that the transactions were through an account owned by Breann Dawn Smith [DOB REDACTED], defendant herein. P. S. Stated that she confronted defendant, who is her daughter, and defendant denied any involvement but thereafter packed up all her things from P. S.’s home and has not been back since.
P. S. And defendant resided on the 2700 block of 119th Avenue NW, Coon Rapids, Anoka County. P. S. Also told law enforcement that she received correspondence in the mail that an auto loan in the amount of $10,365 was denied from a car dealership in Coon Rapids, Anoka County, that defendant applied for under P. S.’s name. By August 27, 2025, P. S. Received numerous other pieces of mail declining credit requests, and believes her daughter is applying for credit cards in her name. Defendant was arrested on November 17, 2025, and law enforcement was able to take a statement from defendant.
Defendant admitted that the transactions on P. S.’s account were from her gambling accounts but stated her boyfriend was the one who did the transactions. She also claimed her boyfriend was the one applying for credit cards under P. S.’s name. Because the whereabouts of defendant are unknown now that she is not in custody and attempts by law enforcement to reach defendant out of custody were unsuccessful, the State requests a body only complaint warrant in this matter and requests that defendant be held in custody until appropriate bail and conditions of release be set pursuant to Minn.
R. Crim. Pro 6.02, subd. 1, to include the issuance of appropriate protective orders.
