ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) – According to charges filed today in Ramsey County, Jamal Steward told investigators a very creative story when he was confronted about a stolen computer he alleged pawned at Max It Pawn in St. Paul.Steward, a 24-year-old Burnsville resident, was questioned by investigators after the serial number on the $700 HP laptop he pawned on January 29 was traced back to a home burglary in Scott County.
But instead of confessing, Steward said he found the computer… in a bag he jewels… that happened to by lying beside him when he came to after passing out at a party.
From the complaint:
In a taped phone conversation with an investigator, Defendant had several colorful accounts of how the laptop pawned in Saint Paul came into his possession. He said that after a party, he passed out and when he woke up there was a bag of jewels beside him. Defendant later said the computer was also in the bag of jewels. Another version was that he purchased it from someone off of Craig’s List but kept changing the details of that version too.
Steward has been charged with a gross misdemeanor count of possession stolen property. Because he was charged by summons, no mugshot is available.

Seriously, he got pinched because of that gift bag from the party? Oh, that’s a damn shame.
Some jewels, a computer…who wouldn’t want big ole bag of that? Me personally, I thought it was a nice take-home.
Now, you can argue maybe I should have suspected something was sour with them jewels and computer, considering the deal I got. But ain’t we all just looking for a deal?
Me personally, I’m just a hard-working party planner, that’s all. Like what you see on the Kardashians and My Super Sweet 16. Like that but a little more mass market, if you hear what I’m saying. So if you want to get your party on, I’m the man to see.
Got your intoxicants to get it rolling, weed, booze, Molly. Babes-to-bro’s ratio a little low? I make a call, get a pack wild honeys over here right quick. Need a dj and an abandoned house for your blow out? Put me on speed dial right now!
Hell, I can even line you up some sponsorships for your wingding. Me personally, last week I put on “Betty’s Birthday Bash Sponsored by FastCheckCash” Rocked the muthafucking joint, let me tell you.
And yeah, I did the gift bags for that party. Where’d all them stolen jewels and computers and all that come from? Man, how should I know? I farm that out to a vendor.
Who? Man, I don’t know! This guy, you know, always hangs out at the park. That’s all on him, far as I’m concerned.
Look it, you busy Friday night? If you’re interested HMU and I’ll HYU.
