UPDATE 3-7: New documents acquired: Property Receipt (PDF) | Search Warrant Application (PDF) - The search warrant application reveals the investigation was in relation to a smashed Minneapolis Police squad car at 6th and Wabasha on September 1st. However, none of the items of clothing worn by the saboteur were found in the raided room. The application cites undercover surveillance of the RNC Welcoming Committee and Students for a Democratic Society.

According to a search warrant and first-hand account submitted to Twin Cities Indymedia, St. Paul Police executed an RNC-related raid on February 13 at a Macalester College dorm room, with the cooperation of Macalester staff. Although it appears the occupant of the room was not the initial target of the investigation, political literature was seized and has yet to be returned.

SPPD Sargeant Julie Maidment prepared and executed the warrant for the residence of a person with “tattoos on both arms”; the person living in the room has none. The warrant listed common household items and clothes including torn blue jeans, a black jacket or shirt, and black shoes with red laces.
