| Mohamed Adan Mohamed/Blue Earth County Jail |
Mohamed Adan Mohamed, 24, got himself nabbed and arrested last week, and a BCA agent didn’t mince words: “there were strong indicators that Mohamed was preparing to conduct some sort of attack (Mass Casualty Event) in the next twenty-four hours.”
The Blue Earth County Attorney’s Office slapped felony charges on Mohamed after he allegedly swiped $2,150 worth of firearm magazines and posted some seriously unhinged, anti-American nonsense online. Think hashtags and rifles pointed at cameras—real classy stuff.
Court documents paint a wild scene: Mohamed strolled into a Mankato store decked out like a dystopian yard sale—COVID mask, gloves, green stalking cap, and a winter coat so bulky it screamed “suspicious.” The guy didn’t even glance at price tags, just started grabbing high-ticket items like body armor, bear spray, and 9mm mags.

Store staff raised an eyebrow, and for good reason.
According to the complaint, Mohamed was chatting up employees about an AR-style rifle he claimed to own, then bolted with $2,150 in merchandise.

Security tried to stop him, but he peeled out in a car, nearly turning some poor soul into roadkill. Oh, and he left behind a little shopping list—charmingly titled “Survival Gear List with Alternative.” Sleeping bag, lighters, eight magazines, knives, pepper spray, a “6-mag chest right,” bows and arrows. You know, standard Tuesday errands. The complaint notes, “Mohammed [sic] had stolen eight magazines.” The math checks out.
It gets spicier. A cop had recently dealt with Mohamed’s social media antics—posts flaunting ammo and guns, including one gem where he’s aiming an assault rifle at the camera, tagged with “#deathtoamerikkan&israelliImperialism.”
Subtle, right? That’s what tipped off the BCA agent, who sounded the alarm about a potential mass casualty plot brewing within 24 hours.
Now Mohamed’s facing one count each of felony theft and felony threats of violence—each carrying up to five years behind bars, a $10,000 fine, or both. Bail’s a cool $1 million no conditions, or $500,000 if he plays nice.

As of Tuesday morning, he’s chilling in Blue Earth County Jail. His public defender? Not in the mood to chat.
