A Saint Paul man pistol-whipped a man he accused of being a “snitch” outside a Maplewood gas station, fired a shot at him and took his bags before running off with two other men, prosecutors say.
Jalen Davon Howard, 24, faces six felony charges: two counts of first-degree aggravated robbery, two counts of tampering with a witness, second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon and threats of violence.
According to the complaint, Maplewood police responded to a report of shots fired at the Holiday gas station in Maplewood at about 10:39 p.m. on September 17. While officers searched the area, the victim called 911 from his home in Saint Paul, where an officer found him bleeding from a gash on his head.
