STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE 3/23/2018 03:28:31 PM
Dakota County, MN

            On January 29, 2018, law enforcement was dispatched to a Starbucks located in the city of Apple

Valley, Dakota County, Minnesota on report of a suspect threatening people. Upon arrival, contact was
made with a store employee, B.J. She stated that a customer, later identified as LIM BOUNHAU (DOB:
8/29/1961), was looking at explicit pictures of women and customers had begun to complain. B.J. and
another employee asked BOUNHAU to put the pictures away, noting they were of younger women who
appeared to be wearing only underwear. BOUNHAU became upset and began to yell. He was asked to
leave. BOUNHAU then lunged at B.J. in a threatening manner. At that time, two customers, N.P. and T.G.,
stepped in to assist.
            N.P. stated that he observed the confrontation and he and T.G. approached and told BOUNHAU it
was time to leave. BOUNHAU began to pack up, but grabbed a scissors off the table with his right hand
and held them in a threatening manner towards N.P. BOUNHAU stated “you don’t want a knife in your

stomach” and took a couple of steps forward. N.P. backed away because he was fearful that BOUNHAU
would hurt him. As BOUNHAU left, N.P.’s girlfriend followed to take a photo of him.
                       Outside, BOUNHAU became confrontational again and mentioned something about a gun.
BOUNHAU grabbed something from the car door, but it was out of sight.
            A statement was also obtained from T.G. who stated that he and N.P. intervened and BOUNHAU
kept screaming in the store. As he was packing up, T.G. described that BOUNHAU grabbed a scissors
and it appeared as if he was going to harm someone with them. He was worried so he took a few steps
back. T.G. followed with N.P.’s girlfriend outside and heard BOUNHAU state something about a gun and
observed BOUNHAU grab something from the vehicle. BOUNHAU then got into the vehicle and left.
            A photo had been taken of the suspect and was compared to BOUNHAU as he is the registered
owner of the vehicle. The photos appear to be a match.
