Current Offense On 5/3/26 at about 1854 hours, Rogers, MN police responded to a report of a burglary. DW and MW reported that they believed their house might have been burglarized. They had been on vacation and were still out of state. They had received notifications from financial institutions regarding fraudulent bank card usage, learned that someone had tried to take money from their checking and savings accounts, and learned that their 2025 Honda CRV (MN/SLH950), which was supposed to be in their garage, had been used in a theft from auto crime in Roseville (CN: RV26014083). Rogers police went to their home and saw that it had been burglarized.
Their Honda was gone, drawers were open, papers had been gone through, a closet had been ransacked, and a laptop, a gold watch, keys, and other property had been stolen. The value of the stolen Honda exceeded $5,000. On 5/4/26 at 1542 hours, Roseville Police spotted the stolen Honda parked at the Rosedale Mall. It was occupied by four people. Police blocked the vehicle in and removed the occupants. The driver was identified as Jessica Josephine WILLIAMS (07-24-1997). During a search of the vehicle, police found WILLIAMS’ purse in the driver’s seat.
In the purse, police found multiple vehicle and house keys, an ID tag bearing the burglary victim’s name (“MW”), a checkbook belonging to the burglary victim (“DW”), an EBT card belonging to someone else, and a pair of metal (“brass”) knuckles. In the vehicle’s console, police found two Honda key fobs, mail belonging to DW, and DW’s driver’s license. In a post-Miranda statement, WILLIAMS said she got the Honda a couple days earlier from an acquaintance she knew only as "HA". WILLIAMS’ story then changed several times.
At one point, she said she thought the vehicle was a rental. She also said that “HA” told her that he was buying the vehicle from a friend and it was still in the friend's dad's name; "Dwayne something.” (“Dwayne” is DW’s first name). WILLIAMS also said she was buying the vehicle from “HA” and that she was going to pay him for it at a later date. WILLIAMS said she hadn’t paid “HA” any money for the vehicle yet, but “HA” gave her the vehicle and its title anyway. WILLIAMS agreed that it was unusual to receive a vehicle and its title without paying any money for it.
