MOORHEAD, Minn. – Police responding to a report that a female had broken into a Moorhead apartment and assaulted a tenant discovered that the suspect was actually a man dressed as a woman, according to charges filed in Clay County District Court.
When they arrived shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday, police found the suspect lying on the stairs between two apartments. He was wearing a tight pink shirt, a ponytail and full makeup, the complaint states.
Jevon Arthur Timothy Mincey, 24, faces two counts of first-degree burglary, each punishable by up to 20 years in prison, as well as fifth-degree assault, disorderly conduct and damage to property.
The alleged victim told police he woke up to someone pounding on his door and heard mumbling outside the door. When he unlocked the deadbolt, the door flew open and Mincey allegedly entered the apartment, grabbed and threw the resident and punched him in the face and the back of the head, the complaint states.
Moorhead police Lt. Tory Jacobson said Mincey’s intoxication appeared to be a factor in the incident.
