Roseau Stop Leads to Assault, Obstruction Charges<\/h2>\n

ROSEAU<\/strong> (trfnews.i234.me<\/a>) \u2014 A South St. Paul man faces three charges after a July traffic stop in Roseau.<\/p>\n

Court records identify the defendant as Shon Junior Platt, 20. The case was filed in Roseau County District Court.<\/p>\n

Platt is charged with obstructing legal process and fourth-degree assault of a peace officer. Both counts are gross misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

He also faces a misdemeanor charge for allegedly giving a peace officer a false name.<\/p>\n

Traffic Stop Leads To Investigation<\/h2>\n

The charges stem from a traffic stop around 11:39 p.m. on July 15, 2026.<\/p>\n

According to the complaint, state troopers saw a pickup with a driver-side taillight out. The stop occurred near Highways 11 and 89.<\/p>\n

The pickup entered a Cenex parking lot in Roseau. Misty Ann Wojciechowski was identified as the driver and vehicle owner.<\/p>\n

The complaint says Platt was riding as a passenger. He allegedly gave officers a different name and birth date.<\/p>\n

Investigators could not confirm the information he provided. Officers then worked to determine his identity.<\/p>\n

The complaint says officers later recognized Platt and confirmed his identity.<\/p>\n

\"Shon<\/div>\n

Court records also note officers initially believed a warrant may have existed. The complaint says no active warrant was found later.<\/p>\n

Complaint Describes Struggle<\/h2>\n

Officers then questioned Platt about his identity. The complaint says he stepped from the vehicle and tried to walk away.<\/p>\n

Officers decided to place him in handcuffs. Platt allegedly tensed his body, pulled away, and continued resisting.<\/p>\n

The complaint says officers took Platt to the ground. He allegedly kicked and tried to push officers away with his knees.<\/p>\n

Backup officers later arrived and helped complete the arrest.<\/p>\n

After Platt was handcuffed, officers allegedly found a fixed-blade knife on his waistband. The blade measured about three to four inches.<\/p>\n

One officer suffered a cut and swollen lip during the struggle, according to the complaint.<\/p>\n

Three Charges Filed<\/h2>\n

The obstruction charge is filed under Minnesota Statute 609.50<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The assault charge is filed under Minnesota Statute 609.2231<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The false-name charge is filed under Minnesota Statute 609.506<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two gross misdemeanor counts each carry a maximum listed penalty of 364 days and a $3,000 fine.<\/p>\n

The misdemeanor count carries a maximum listed penalty of 90 days and a $1,000 fine.<\/p>\n

The allegations are contained in a criminal complaint. Platt is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
