Report: Daunte Wright Had Warrant for Attempted Aggravated Robbery
breitbart ^ | 13 Apr 2021 | GABRIELLE REYESDaunte Wright allegedly had a warrant out for his arrest at the time he was shot and killed by a Brooklyn Center police officer near Minneapolis, Minnesota, court papers obtained by the British Daily Mail newspaper suggest.
"Wright was to face trial on a charge of attempted aggravated robbery – with a possible maximum sentence of 20 years in prison," the newspaper reported.
The charge stems from December 2019 when Wright, then 19, and a man named Emajay Driver, 18 years old, allegedly visited a residence shared by two women in Osseo, Minnesota. Wright allegedly tried to hold up one of the women to steal a sum of $820 in cash she had stashed inside her bra.
Wright allegedly pointed a gun at the woman, choked her, and threatened to shoot her if she did not hand over the money.
"The $820 cash was tucked in the victim's bra and defendant Wright placed his hand around victim's neck and choked her while trying to pull the cash from under her bra," according to Officer Mikkelson. "Victim was able to get loose from defendant Wright and started to kneel down and scream."
"After more yelling, Wright allegedly told the woman that he was going to shoot her unless he got the money," according to the Daily Mail.
Wright's bail for the charge was set at $100,000, "with orders that he should not contact the victim or any witnesses, refrain from drugs and alcohol and not have any weapons. A bond bailsman paid $40,000 for his release," the Daily Mail reports.
Wright's bail was revoked in July 2020, however, "due to his ‘failure to not possess a firearm or ammunition’ and not keeping in touch with his probation officer," according to court papers seen by the Daily Mail.
