STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE
‘The Complainant states that the following facts establish probable cause:
During October 2013, the St. Paul Police Department (SPPD) were investigating R.D.S, and as a result of that
investigation, R.DS. was convicted of Attempted 3% Degree Murder. R.D.S. is currently incarcerated at the
Minnesota Department of Corrections (MN DOC) - St. Cloud Facility. ‘The follow-up investigation determined
that the Defendant RUBY DIAZ had a relationship with R.D.S, The Defendant rented a car for RDS, and had
contact via US mail and phone with RDS. while R.DS. was incarcerated. The Defendant is a St. Paul Police
sworn law enforcement officer.
‘The investigation discovered that between February 2, 2014 and April 25, 2014, R.D.S. received $1,500.00
worth of Western Union money orders deposited into his prison account in five separate $300.00 increments.
The MN DOC has detailed rules and restrictions on how an inmate receives funds. If funds are deposited via
‘Western Union, the individual sending the money must create an account with identifying information and
affirm several questions related to the deposit pursuant to MN DOC rules. If these questions and the personal
information are not complete, the funds will not be accepted. The MN DOC maintains these records because
individuals depositing money are only permitted to send money to one inmate. MN DOC isa public body.
Western Union records and MN DOC records indicated that a M.L. deposited the $1,500.00 into RD.S’s prison
account. Two of the five on-line transactions that deposited money into R.D.S.'s prison account were traced to
an IP address that belonged to the St. Paul Public Schools. The Defendant is a School Resource Officer at
Humboldt High School. The St. Paul Public School's IT department traced the Western Union transactions to
the Defendant’s computer.
‘Two of the credit card numbers used to procure the funds for RDS. were from a'TCF Bank Account. 'TCF Bank
confirmed that both credit cards belonged to the Defendant, A third credit card number used to procure the
funds belongs to JP Morgan-Chase Bank. Chase Bank has confirmed that the credit card belongs to the
Defendant.
M.L. was identified and located, M., stated she went to college with the Defendant and that the Defendant
was helping her as a personal trainer, As of 4/28/2014, ML, had not spoken with the Defendant for about a
month. M.L. stated that she never sent money to R.D.S. M.L. indicated that the personal information used on
the Western Union money orders is her name, address and other identifying information. M.L. states that the
Defendant violated their trust and that the Defendant was never authorized to use M.L.’s information to send
money to the MN DOC account of RDS.
‘The investigation also determined that the Defendant created a Google email account using M.L.’s name and
information. ‘The email account was required in order to create a documented profile on the Western Union
database. ‘The transaction could not be completed without the personal information and email account. The
investigation documented that all of the personal identifying information belonged to M.L. and the credit card
accounts belonged to the Defendant,
Your Complainant reviewed the MN DOC recorded phone calls between the Defendantand RDS, During
multiple conversations, the Defendant and R.D.S. are discussing money and how the Defendant will provide
R.DS. with money.
A review of R.D.S’s prison account indicates that no funds were placed into his account under the Defendant's
name.
