Mayer robbery suspect to be federally prosecuted

CARVER COUNTY, MN –
Carver County Attorney Mark Metz announced that a Federal grand jury has indicted
Demetrius Charles Edward Derden, 27, for violation of the Federal Hobbs Act. This indictment stems from an armed robbery alleged to have occurred at a convenience store in Mayer on Dec. 3, 2011.
The matter was originally prosecuted in State court by the Carver County Attorney’s Office.
In cases such as this one, where Derden’s alleged actions violate both State and Federal law, the United States Attorney’s Office and the Carver County Attorney’s Office have overlapping jurisdiction to prosecute the case. When this occurs, Federal and State prosecutors consult to determine the most appropriate single forum in which to proceed to satisfy the substantial Federal and State interests involved.
From the beginning of this case, Carver County Attorney Mark Metz was in communication with the United States Attorney’s Office. Both offices agreed that the best interests of both the citizens of Carver County, as represented by the Carver County Attorney’s Office, and the citizens of the United States generally, as represented by the United States Attorney’s Office, were best served by Federal prosecution of this matter. Accordingly, the Carver County Attorney’s Office dismissed its charges against Derden, deferring to the Federal prosecution of this case.
According to Metz, “Based on this egregious alleged conduct, Derden represents a public safety danger of the highest magnitude. The best way, in my view, to protect public safety is to remove Derden from society for the longest period of time possible, should the allegations be proven. In evaluating the likely sentence under the Minnesota Sentencing Guidelines as compared to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, prosecution in Federal court offers the possibility of a significantly longer sentence. Therefore, the United States Attorney and I agreed that the matter is most appropriately handled in Federal court. “
