Saint Paul Police

On May 7, Ofiong Sanders finished mowing the lawn for his parents. While that same evening, when he was finished with the yard work, he decided to go on a trip around the block exercising. Since living in a quiet neighborhood and a block a way from his home, thinking no one would notice. While starting his 20 paces, 20 sit-ups, going up and down the block, the Saint Paul Police Department approached him with on foot with flashlights. While asking why was he being detained, they said "We'll think of something".

The police got a call for suspicious activity that night, but no one can admit anything on the incident. Then finally after an half an hour in a squad car went by, he was arrested for lurking. Then at 3 AM was bailed out, only costing him $100 for that incident. Then went back home, slept for an hour, cleaned up to go to work around 6:30 am. A few days later, May 13, six police officers went to his work to arrest Mr. Sanders unannounced. He is now being held for the lurking charge with his parole officer.

Unsure on the case, Mr. Sanders was going to seek a lawyer for legal advice before calling his parole officer. And to make matters worse, his aunt died and her funeral was on May 18, and he worried that he'd miss saying his final goodbye to his aunt he loved.
