AMENDED COMPLAINT
The Complainant, being duly sworn, makes complaint to the above-named Court and states that there is probable cause to believe that the Defendant committed the following offense(s). The complainant states that the following facts establish PROBABLE CAUSE:
The offense portion is amended as follows: Your Complainant, Geoffrey Toscano, is an Officer with the Minneapolis Police Department, and in that capacity has investigated the facts and circumstances of the offense alleged herein, including reviewing the reports of other officers. Your Complainant has learned the following: On December 9, 2010, officers were conducting routine patrol in the area of Lake Street and Park Avenue in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota, when they observed Defendant EMMANUEL GORDON ANIM standing in front of a store located at this intersection. Officers observed several individuals approaching Defendant. When they would approach, Defendant would cup his hand to his mouth, take something from his mouth and hand it to the individual in exchange for money. Officers believed that Defendant was selling narcotics to these individuals, as it is common for narcotics dealers to keep small amounts of narcotics in their mouths when engaged in narcotics transactions. Defendant then met up with two other individuals and walked north into an alleyway. Officers approached the group and observed Defendant conducting a narcotics transaction with the two individuals. When Defendant saw the officers, he threw his hand up to his mouth. Officers observed something fall from Defendants mouth on to the ground. Defendant then rolled over on to the item. Officers recovered the item, suspected crack cocaine, from underneath Defendant. The suspected crack cocaine field-tested positive, weighing approximately .2 grams without packaging.
