Kevin Ruberg, Two Harbors Chief of Police (218) 834-5566/(218) 834-8822:
Attached is my signe dcriminal complaint against your corrupt and now former Lake County Attorney/Special Assistant Itasca County Attorney Laura Auron, your corrupt Lake County Attorney/Special Assistant Itasca County Attorney Russ Conrow, and your corrupt Lake County Sheriff Carey Johnson for misusing public resources (609.52 Theft) engaging in criminal misconduct (609.43 Misconduct of public officer or employee), harassment (MS 609.748) and by their willful refusal to comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA) (13.09 Penalties). See attached. Email me the public portion of my initial complaint report (ICR) in its original seachable pdf format to lionnews00@gmail.com.
Terry Dean, Nemmers (320) 283-5713
And in those statements is material that was new to me, specifically additional statements that had allegedly been made by Sheriff Vic Williams ah, that appear to be self—incriminating with regard to the incident Ms. Cass is charged with. Um, specifically he said to the complaining witness in our criminal case “I'm to blame, told them to do it.” When told it was a felony he indicated “I guess I'll just have to take a felony then." There‘s also information in there that indicates that the Sheriff allegedly made incriminating statements and admissions to at least two other Itasca County employees or officers, and buy one of those officers was directed to self—report his conduct in connection to this matter. … I don’t want to have to start this case all over, but I do intend to dismiss and possibly refile at a later date if the court is not inclined to grant a continuance, and I don't mean that at all mean that to be threatening to the court that‘s just the bottom line.

When can I get a copy of the investigative report? Investigation ongoing If the law enforcement agency is still investigating the crime, members of the public will not be able to get a copy of the report.

This is my formal criminal complaint against your corrupt and now former Lake County Attorney/Special Assistant Itasca County Attorney Laura Auron, your corrupt Lake County Attorney/Special Assistant Itasca County Attorney Russ Conrow, and your corrupt Lake County Sheriff Carey Johnson for misusing public resources (609.52 Theft) engaging in criminal misconduct (609.43 Misconduct of public officer or employee), harassment (MS 609.748) and by their willful refusal to comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (MGDPA) (13.09 Penalties). Email me the public portion of my initial complaint report (ICR) in its original seachable pdf format to lionnews00@gmail.com.
I have reason to suspect that I have clear, precise, and unquestionable evidence that corrupt Auron, corrupt Conrow and corrupt Johnson were all conspiring to illegally withhold readily available, free, electronic, public data from me. (See attached data requests and responses) I have reason to suspect this was to cover-up rigged investigations and rigged special prosecutions for Itasca County Sheriff’s Administrative Officer Anna Marie Cass and Itasca County Sheriff Victor Williams.
Auron’s first batch of wild and outrageous claims were that the Lake County Sheriff’s department’s Lexipol data was not in Lake County’s possession:
4. Criminal investigative data for Case No. 31-CR-15-571, State of Minnesota v. Anna Marie Cass Response: The requested data is confidential or protected nonpublic data while the investigation is active pursuant to Minnesota Statute 13.82 subd.7. Investigation is active and continues in this and related matters. 5a. Lake County Sheriff’s Dept 2015 Lexipol Policy and Procedure Manual Response: Lake County does not possess the requested data 5b. 2015 Lexipol Custody Manual Response: Lake County does not possess the requested data 5c. 2015 Lexipol Prisoner Manual Response: Lake County does not possess the requested data Tuesday, November 24, 2015 email from Special Assistant Itasca County Attorney/Lake County Attorney Laura M. Auron. (See attached)
Auron’s second batch of wild and outrageous claims were that the Lake County Sheriff’s department’s Lexipol data were still not in Lake County’s possession:
2) Lake County Sheriff’s Dept 2016 Lexipol policy and procedure manual, 2016 Lexipol custody manual, 2016 Lexipol prisoner handbook Response: Lake County is not in possession of the Lexipol manuals and handbook requested. ... 7) Criminal investigative data regarding Anna Marie Cass Response: The data requested is part of an ongoing criminal investigation by an independent agency Wed, Jun 8, 2016 email from Special Assistant Itasca County/Lake County Attorney Laura M. Auron. (See attached)
Auron’s second batch of wild and outrageous claims were made even though she was presented with clear, precise and unquestionable evidence that the previously requested Lexipol data was in Lake

County’s possession:

$1,899.00 2015 LEXIPOL DUES MINNESOTA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION
Tue, Nov 24, 2015 email from Linda Libal, Lake County Auditor/Treasurer (See attached)
Yet, both Auron and Johnson willfully refused to provide the Lexipol data. (Note: Libal provided me with public data that indicated payments for the Lake County Sheriff’s dept.’s Lexipol dues all the way back to 2011.)
All public officers and agencies are required to keep “all records necessary to a full and accurate knowledge of their official activities” (MS § 15.17). … If copies are requested in electronic form, and the County maintains the data in electronic form, the data must be provided in electronic form. Lake County Data Practices Policy and Guidelines.
Auron also willfully refused to provide me with the incriminating 12/17/2015 Transcript Doc ID# 67 for Case No. 31-CR-15-571 State of Minnesota vs Anna Marie Cass. The incriminating transcript documents not only Sheriff Williams confessing to a felon but also stating that he should be charged with a felon. Conrow did email me the incriminating transcript:
You also requested the “Lake County Attorney’s office policy and procedure manual – entire manual. There is no such document in the Lake County Attorney’s Office. The final documents you requested were “Chapter 13.83 Subd. 7. Criminal investigative data for for Case No. 31-CR-15-571 State of Minnesota vs Itasca County sheriff’s administrator Anna Marie Cass.” Lake County does not maintain or possess such documents. Emailed September 18, 2017 Letter from Special Assistant Itasca County/Lake County Attorney Russ Conrow (See attached)
However, Conrow willfully refused to provide me with the public data called the Lake County Attorney’s office policy and procedure manual. Motive: I have reason to suspect that the plot was to designed to harass and intimidate me into silence. Auron, Conrow and Johnson wanted me to stop asking about their rigged case no. 31-CR-15-571 State of Minnesota vs Itasca County Administrative Officer Anna Marie Cass and their magically and mysteriously lack of criminal charges for admitted felon Itasca County Sheriff Victor “Vic”Williams. Furthermore, I have reason to suspect that neither Auron nor Conrow had any intention of refiling charges against Cass nor ever initiating any felon charges against Sheriff Williams.
And in those statements is material that was new to me, specifically additional statements that had allegedly been made by Sheriff Vic Williams ah, that appear to be self—incriminating with regard to the incident Ms. Cass is charged with. Um, specifically he said to the complaining witness in our criminal case “I'm to blame, told them to do it.” When told it was a felony he indicated “I guess I'll just have to take a felony then." There‘s also information in there that indicates that the Sheriff allegedly made incriminating statements and admissions to at least two other Itasca County employees or officers, and buy one of those officers was directed to self—report his conduct in connection to this matter. … I don’t want to have to start this case all over, but I do intend to dismiss and possibly refile at a later date if the court is not inclined to grant a continuance, and I don't mean that at all mean that to be threatening to the court that‘s just the bottom line.

I came to this reasonable conclusions after considering the following information:
Page 2 of 4
1. Itasca County Attorney Jack Muhar, through his special prosecutor, was able to brief criminal charges against Sheriff Williams’ 2014 political opponent deputy Bryan Johnson. Muhar still hasn’t brought charges against Sheriff Williams despite his confession. And charges were only reluctantly brought a second time against Cass immediately prior to the tolling of the statute of limitations.

Hirt stated that Itasca County Sheriff Victor Williams saw Witkofsky leave the Defendant’s office. The sheriff asked the Defendant and Chief Deputy Hirt to monitor Witkofsky. … Cass stated she was asked by Sheriff Williams to monitor Witkofsky. Criminal complaint summon 31-CR-17-2802 State of Minnesota vs Anna Marie Cass.

e) Peace officers must obey lawful orders but a peace officer must refuse to obey any order the officer knows would require the officer to commit an illegal act. B. Principle Two – Professional Conduct of Peace Officers Model Policy MN Statute 626.8457
2. Sheriff Vic Williams admitted that he didn’t want the Cass incident getting out to the public – especially prior to an election.
Sheriff Williams did not want the matter to go outside the Office of the Sheriff. He reluctantly admitted this. (Tr. 125-26, 135, 711). It did and it has probably caused turmoil within the Sheriff’s Department. Cass volunteered that things of this nature can find a way into the next election campaign for the office of Sheriff. (Tr. 485). Grievant’s complaint called into question the conduct of the Cass, Hirt and the Sheriff. Decision and award. BMS Case 16-PA-0697 In the matter of Arbitration between Itasca County Employees Association, Union and County of Itasca, Office of the Sheriff, Employer
3. Sheriff Vic Williams’ plans to keep the scandal contained failed when the FBI got involved.
After an independent investigation, criminal charges were brought against one of the individuals who attempted to record or listen to Bliss’s conversation. Id. at 3. The charges were eventually dismissed without prejudice; however, the criminal investigation is still pending, and has been turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (“FBI”). Id.

Respondent’s response to petition for discretionary review. Trial Court Case No. 31-CV-16-3257 Judge Paul E. Rasmussen.
4. Conrow made the wild and outrageous claim that Cass’ Chapter 13.82 criminal investigatvie data was no longer in Lake County’s possession.
Lake County does not maintain or possess such documents. Emailed September 18, 2017 Letter from Special Assistant Itasca County/Lake County Attorney Russ Conrow (See attached) 5. Conrow kept changing the date on the charging decision on Cass and Williams. Conrow also admitted he was in communication with the FBI about the investigation into Itasca County Sheriff Vic

Hello this is Russ Conrow, Lake County Attorney returning your call. I talked with the FBI agent before I went ah out of town (unintelligible) weeks ago. And ah said that they were going to talk to ya. I don’t know if they have or not. But, ah, I plan on making a decision on for the prosecution by the end of August. So August 31 I should have should have something more to tell you. Thanks. Bye. Voicemail of Russ Conrow Lake County Attorney/Special Itasca Co. Prosecutor to LaNea Randall-Johnson Greenway Public Schools Board Clerk/wife of Bovey councilman/2014 Itasca Co. sheriff candidate/Itasca Co. deputy Bryan Johnson
I have reason to suspect the only reason why charges against Cass were even brought by Conrow was a “Plan B.” The “Plan B” came only after data requests for Vic’s confession transcript were being submitted by myself, by LaNea Johnson and by her supporters.
4. Inappropriate Considerations The prosecutor should not charge more serious offenses only as a means to leverage the accused to plead guilty to a lessor charge. The prosecutor should not file charges for the purpose of obtaining a defendant a release of potential civil claims against victims, witnesses, or law enforcement or prosecutorial agencies or personnel. The prosecutor should not consider any personal or political advantages a prosecution may bring, nor should the prosecutor consider in any way the race, gender, social status, or economic status of the accused, victim, and/or witness in the charging decision. Charging Guideline Stearns County Attorney’s Office Policy & Procedure manual, Page 4. *Pursuant to Minn. Stat. § § 388.051, subd. 3(d) (1998) and 13.02 (1998) this document is public data.
You can’t trust and arrest, prosecution or conviction in lawless Itasca County or in lawless Lake County, can you? You can’t, can you?

P.S. Since your police station is housed in corrupt Lake County courthouse then I have reason to suspect that you’re just another one of Sheriff William’s corrupt “good ol’ boys, ” haven’t I? I have, haven’t I?
P.S.S. Cass is going to quickly take a super-duper, sweet-heart, plea deal, isn’t she? That will end inevitable questions of the magically and mysteriously missihng felony conspiracy charges, right?
