Rochester Police Department

The man accused of orchestrating the kidnapping, robbery, and assault is jailed on $1 million bail.

A woman, who was with the victim at the park, identified the suspect as her ex-boyfriend.

His plea agreement calls for a prison sentence.

The woman reported the assault while she was being treated in the Emergency Department at St. Marys Hospital.

Court documents say evidence seized by Rochester police linked the 2 men to a similar swindle reported in Wisconsin.

His long criminal history includes at least 8 previous felony theft and drug related convictions.

The charges say he believed he was communicating with a 14-year-old girl.

Court documents say evidence gathered through the monitoring of phone conversations in the Olmsted County jail led to the new charges.

He was sentenced to probation for a previous felony conviction connected to a burglary in Goodhue County.

3 other men are still facing felony charges connected to the same investigation.
