Dumb Criminal: Man Was Living in Car to Avoid Arrest Warrant

A warrant check revealed that the subject had an active arrest warrant out for him.

Sgt. Jay Castonguay was on patrol and found a subject living in his car in a parking lot. A warrant check revealed that the subject had an active arrest warrant out for him.

The subject, who had apparently evaded the warrant by living in his car, was arrested and placed in Dakota County Jail. 

Editor's note: the suspect in this case was deliberately living out of his car instead of his home in order to avoid arrest. He was not a homeless man.
