Myron Harry Cloud (Date of Birth: 6/25/1990) is charged with 1st Degree Aggravated Robbery, a Felony. On April 22, 2009 at the 15xx block of New Brighton Blvd (Quarry Shopping Center), an elderly victim was walking to her vehicle. She put her groceries in the trunk of her car and shut the trunk. As the victim began to walk around the car towards the driver’s door, she was approached by two males who were partially covering their faces with their clothing and demanded that the victim give them her car. The victim began to back up and yelled for help. The two males then began to walk away. A witness observed the female in distress and learned that the two males had attempted to steal her car. The witness observed the males then get on two bicycles and then ride off. The witness and victim both gave physical descriptions of the two males who were then observed in the area of 19th and Johnson by another squad. They were both arrested and brought back to the scene. Both the witness and the victim positively ID’d the two males that tried to rob her. Myron Harry Cloud was transported to the Robbery Unit.

Editor’s Note: Cloud is also charged in 3 other cases, including a theft in Bloomington, and Lurking with Intent in Minneapolis. His bail is $100,000. All cases are scheduled for court on May 11th.
