STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE




Complainant has investigated the facts and circumstances of this offense and believes the following
establishes probable cause:

On September 25, 2014, around 11:14 p.m., officers from the Minneapolis Police Department were
flagged down by security staff from the Saloon, located at 830 Hennepin Avenue South in the City of
Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Security said they had a male in-custody who had just shot a
patron of the bar with a BB gun. The shooter was identified as WAYNE STEVEN ODEGARD (D.O.B.
10/21/1970),Defendant.

Officers walked over to where the security guards had detained Defendant. Defendant was on the ground
in handcuffs. Defendant was looking at the person he shot, an adult male (Victim), as well as other
patrons walking in and out of the bar and calling them faggots. Defendant was placed in a squad car.

One of the security guards (Witness 1) reported the following information. Victim and his friend were
sitting on the patio of the Saloon, which is connected to the public sidewalk. Defendant was walking on the
sidewalk, looked right at Victim and Victims friend, and said, fucking faggot. Defendant then pulled out a
BB gun from the front of his waistband, pointed it at Victim, and fired multiple times. Victim was struck in
the leg once. Defendant then walked away, but was taken to the ground by security and placed in
handcuffs.

Victim reported seeing Defendant walking down the sidewalk and hearing Defendant mumble something.
The next thing Victim remembered was hearing loud pops and feeling pain on his shin.

Victims friend did not hear exactly what Defendant was saying, but heard the pops and saw Defendant
with the gun in his hand.

In a Mirandized statement, Defendant said he saw two men kissing in public and wanted it to stop.
Defendant pulled out his gun, pointed it in the direction of the kissing men and shot. Defendant admitted to
saying faggots before the shooting, and said that seeing men kissing pisses him off.
