Man With Murder Conviction Charged After Rochester Traffic Stop

Goldstein: -6.4Tone: -11.3

Rochester, MN ( KROC-AM News ) - A traffic stop in Rochester on Tuesday has resulted in felony charges against a Rochester man who was sent to prison eight years ago after being convicted of murder in connection with a botched drug-related robbery in the Twin Cities. A criminal complaint filed in Olmsted County District Court on Thursday charges 29-year-old Edward Lamont Williams with illegal possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a crime of violence, receiving stolen property, and a misdemeanor charge involving possession of an open cannabis package in a motor vehicle. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance on the charges Friday. According to the court document, a Rochester police officer initiated a traffic stop in the 1600 block of Civic Center Drive Northwest after observing Williams acting suspiciously at a nearby convenience store and then driving away in a vehicle. The arresting officer then ran a check on the vehicle's license plate and learned it was registered to Williams and indicated that his driver's license had been suspended. After stopping the vehicle, the criminal complaint says the officer detected the smell of burnt and fresh marijuana in the vehicle. When questioned, Williams admitted smoking marijuana prior to the contact with the officer and showed the officer multiple burnt marijuana "roaches" in the vehicle's ashtray. The charging document says the officer then notified Williams that the vehicle would be searched due to suspected violations of Minnesota's marijuana transportation requirements. The criminal complaint says the search resulted in the discovery of approximately 140 grams of marijuana and a Glock handgun with an extended magazine that had been reported stolen out of Roseville. The court document also states that, after he was informed that the vehicle was going to be searched, Williams became increasingly hostile and confrontational. The officers at the scene reported that Williams began recording them with his cell phone and positioned the phone's camera within a couple of inches of their faces. Minnesota court records indicate that Williams was convicted of second-degree murder in 2018 and was sentenced to 141 months in prison. Court documents say his conviction was tied to his involvement in a scheme to rob a drug dealer of three pounds of marijuana that led to a fatal shooting in a St. Paul neighborhood on the night of May 9, 2017. Williams was also previously convicted of first-degree aggravated robbery. In that case, he was accused of holding a gun to another person's head while robbing the victim of his cell phone. Court records indicate the robbery occurred on the night of November 18, 2016. Gallery Credit: Photos supplied by Rochester Police Departmentt

Father charged with attempted murder after baby survives being buried in crate

Goldstein: 0.0Tone: -33.3CAMEO 01

The father of an 11-month-old boy found alive after having been buried in a dog crate has been charged with attempted murder and other counts, authorities said Wednesday. The baby, Koah Sharp, was taken by his father, Michael Comer, 25, on Monday, and he was dug out of the ground Tuesday afternoon, the sheriff of Lexington County, South Carolina, alleged. The baby is expected to make a full recovery. He is believed to have been buried in the wire crate, which was wrapped in a towel for around 24 hours, Sheriff Brayn “Jay” Koon said. The towel most likely created an air pocket that allowed Koah to breathe, and cool weather may have also helped him survive, Koon said. Comer, who was arrested on a burglary charge after he was found in an outbuilding Monday night, is charged with attempted murder, unlawful conduct toward a child, custodial interference and burglary, the sheriff’s office said Wednesday . Searchers investigating a patch of disturbed earth near a home owned by Comer’s father heard the baby’s cries and quickly unearthed him, Koon said. Koah was released from the hospital Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said, and he is with family members. Koah was reported missing early Monday afternoon, authorities said. The report set off a search that included the FBI; firefighters; the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and local law enforcement agencies. Comer was in custody Wednesday, jail records showed. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. Koah’s mother has custody of the child, Comer’s mother has said. Koah’s mother told a sheriff’s deputy that she allowed Comer to briefly have the child but expected that to last only a day or two, according to a police report. She told the deputy that Comer had threatened her over Facebook Messenger that he would keep Koah, according to the police report.
