The St. Anthony police officer who fatally shot Philando Castile earlier this month helped book Castile into jail after a 2011 traffic stop that started with a defective brake light, newly released records show.

Officer Jeronimo Yanez was also one of the two officers assigned to work the July 2 armed robbery of a Lauderdale convenience store — scanner audio and Yanez’s attorney said he pulled over Castile’s white Oldsmobile the night he was killed because he matched the description of a suspect from a previous robbery.

The new details are contained in records that the city of St. Anthony released late Thursday in response to media requests.

The 2011 traffic stop, in which Castile was arrested and cited for driving with a revoked license, was the only previous incident the city of St. Anthony had recorded with Castile before he was killed July 6, according to City Attorney Jay Lindgren.

Castile was driving a Chevrolet south on Hamline Avenue near Larpenteur Avenue in Falcon Heights on Nov. 23, 2011, when officer Mark Dokken pulled him over for a defective brake light, according to the incident report. Dokken then discovered Castile had a revoked license and an outstanding misdemeanor warrant in Hennepin County for driving after revocation.

Besides, even if you took this article as the only source of information, you still misread and misstated what it says! 2 not 1 (besides the fact that he had 70-80 or more total, when factoring multiple jurisdictions).

Having a license plate out means if someone, say, hits someone else and runs, or robs someone/someplace, and it’s nighttime, getting their plate as they flee is almost impossible, so it’s a legit concern. Just two examples.

Plus, his illegal drug use invalidated any ccw permit, not to mention that a permit is moot if he reached when told not to reach.

I meant to say, a license plate light out, obviously

Gee, how do you think the Media would label a white suspected criminal with the same record shot by a Mexican officer named Geronimo?

Priobably a troubled man with a long record and history of dealings with the criminal justice system.

But, this guy is a Pillar of the Community who children looked up, and lit up the room when he entered it.

Drugs around the kids, good. Guns around the kids, cool. Blaspheming Bitch around the kids, super.

"...Mr. Garner is responsible for Mr. Garner's death."

Of course he is. And I think I echoed the rest of your statement in other words.
