Francis G. Slay Mayor, City of St. Louis 1200 Market, City Hall, Room 200 St. Louis, Missouri 63103

Colonel Sam Dotson Chief of Police Metropolitan Police Department 1915 Olive Street St. Louis, Missouri 63103

Re: Notice of Claim of Cornealious Michael Anderson, III

Dear Mr. Slay and Mr. Dotson:

St. Louis, the Metropolitan Police Department, Police Officer Stephen Ogunjobi, Police Officer Jamar Renell Wright, Police Officer David Pryor, Sergeant Colin Rumpsa, Police Officer David Bosler, Police Officer Stephen J. Hardesty, Police Officer Timothy Boyce, Police Officer Ryan J. Murphy, Police Officer Jermaine Jacson, Police Officer John T. Moton, Detective Scott Wilmot, Police Officer Amber Gottschall, and Police Officer Timothy L. Sachs. This notice is given pursuant to Missouri Statutes 77.600.

As I am sure you are aware, my client, Cornealious Michael Anderson, III was arrested on or about November 16, 2014 at approximately 1 :00 a.m. in the vicinity of 4th Street and Walnut Avenue in St. Louis by police officers employed by the Metropolitan Police Department, and subjected to two suggestive identification procedures which resulted in false positive identifications. He was booked in and subsequently charged with robbery in the second degree. Mr. Anderson was held in the local jail for approximately 4 days prior to being released on bond. As a result of the arrest, a criminal prosecution was commenced in the St. Louis City Court, and the case was held for the action of the grand jury.

Over the next four months, Mr. Anderson was subjected to continued criminal prosecution as a result of this arrest. Because of Mr. Anderson' s highly publicized prior case earlier in 2014 in which he was released from state prison after an error allowed him to remain at liberty for 13 years, this arrest in November, 2014 garnered intensive national media attention. As a result of this publicity, my client suffered additional damages of loss of reputation, ridicule and scorn, and emotional distress.

Through the efforts of his defense team, evidence was obtained that directly refuted the allegations against him and proved that he was innocent of the crime for which he was arrested. This evidence was readily available to the police immediately after his arrest; indeed, as he was being handcuffed, my client begged the police to investigate his alibi and speak with the people he was with immediately prior to his arrest to confirm he was innocent. The evidence consisted of video surveillance recordings, digital photographs, social media, and numerous reputable witnesses.

As a result of a thorough investigation by the Prosecutor as well as Mr. Anderson's defense team, on February 5, 2015 all charges against Mr. Anderson were dismissed. A copy of the press release from the Prosecutor is attached to this letter and incorporated by reference. I have also enclosed copies of the police incident report and the complaint that was filed with the Court.

The nature of the claims to be made against the foregoing individuals and the City of St. Louis will be made pursuant to 42 U.S .C. 1983 for deprivation of Federal civil rights, and commonlaw causes of action for false arrest, false imprisonment, battery, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, as well as a claim for municipal liability under Monell v. Department of Social Services of the City ofNew York, 436 U.S. 658 (1976). My client is claiming monetary damages as a result of the actions of the foregoing in an appropriate amount to be determined.

My client has the option to immediately bring a lawsuit in a public judicial forum to seek redress for damages. It is anticipated that his claim would be brought in the United States District Court

Mr. Anderson also has the option to engage in private discussions to ascertain whether a private resolution of this matter is warranted.

Should you or your legal representative wish to discuss this matter please contact my office by April 1, 2015 . Ifl do not hear from you or an appropriate representative by that date, I will assume that you have no interest in trying to resolve these issues privately.

Thank you for J1 ur attention to this very important matter.

Thursday, February 5, 2015, St. Louis - Today, Circuit Attorney Jennifer M. Joyce has announced that, after a thorough

investigation of the facts and circumstances conducted by her office, she has dismissed a second-degree robbery charge

against Mr. Cornealious Anderson.

Anderson was charged in connection with a robbery that occurred on Sunday, November 16, 2014 at the White Castle

located in the 800 block of S. Broadway. Two witnesses initially identified Mr. Anderson as the perpetrator. Based on

this information, a charge of second-degree robbery was filed, and Mr. Anderson posted bond the following day.

As in every case in the Circuit Attorney's Office, the investigation continued after charges were filed. Prosecutors

gathered surveillance video from area businesses and the media, interviewed additional witnesses and worked with the

defense attorney to ensure all available information was reviewed. The investigation revealed questions regarding the

procedures by which the victim and witness identified the suspect.

"The exhaustive and expeditious review unearthed additional information that cast serious doubt on the case against

Mr. Anderson. On behalf of the Circuit Attorney's Office, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Anderson and thank him, his

defense attorney and area businesses for their cooperation in assisting us in getting to the truth of this matter. Their

participation was essential to th is case," said Circuit Attorney Jennifer M . Joyce. "Because of the immense amount of

local and national attention regarding Mr. Anderson, we wanted to immediately release this information to the media to

clear his name of the recent accusations against him."

Prosecutors are legally, ethically and morally required to seek any available evidence that could either prove a case or

exonerate a defendant. According to Joyce, this level of investigation occurs every day with every case in the Circuit

Attorney's Office.

"We are duty-bound to protect the rights of all," said Circuit Attorney Joyce. "We will use every legal tool available to

ensure that the correct person is charged with the correct crime. If we ever learn of information casting reasonable

doubt in a case, we immediately dismiss charges as we did in this matter."

The Circuit Attorney's Office cannot provide any additional details at this time, as the investigation into the robbery

remains open and active. Joyce said that she has spoken to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Chief Sam Dotson about the

details her office uncovered regarding the initial investigation. The Circuit Attorney's Office is now working with police to

review internal policies and procedures in this case.

Police and prosecutors ask that anyone with any information regarding this robbery come forward immediately so that

the person who committed this robbery can be held accountable.

PROBABLE CAUSE STATEMENT

DATE: November 16, 2014

I, Stephen Ogunjobi , knowing that false statements on this form are punishable by law, state that the facts contained herein are true.

1. I have probable cause to believe that Cornealious Michael Anderson , a Black Male DOB: XX/XX/77 Age: 37, committed one or more criminal offense(s). Count 1: Robbery In The Second Degree (Class B FELONY) RSMo 569.030

FROM 11/16/2014 at 1 :00 AM TO 11/16/2014 at 1 :03 AM Place: 8XX S BROADWAY (SCC 12020)

2. The facts supporting this belief are as follows: While on patrol in the area of 4th Street and Gratiot, I heard a description matching the Defendant, over the radio regarding a "purse snatching ." A few minutes later, I observed the Defendant, on 4th Street walking north, who matched the description. After approaching the Defendant, I identified myself as a police officer, informed him of the reason he was being detained, and conveyed him to the scene of the incident where he was positively identified by the victim and an eyewitness as the individual who snatched the victim 's purse from her shoulder. I was also informed that the Defendant dragged the victim while trying to take the purse from her.

At this t ime, I informed Cornealious A. that he was under arrest for "Robbery 2nd Degree "I advised him of his Constitutional Righ t s per MPD Form GEN-19, to which he responded, " I did not do this crime I need you to go out and find him so I can get home to my wife and child."

Medic 2 responded to the scene and treated victim Leblanc for minor abrasions

P.O. Pryor conveyed Cornealious A. to the Central Patrol Holdover.

Since I did not speak with Victim Leblanc at the scene, I contacted her on Witness Schrijuer ' s cell phone number.

Victim Leblanc stated that she was in the White Castle drive-thru as a passenger in witness Schrijuer vehicle, and stepped outside of the vehicle to smoke a cigarette because she was in a rental car . The suspect approached her from an unknown direction and stated that he would give her 50 cents for a cigarette. Before she could take out a cigarette, the suspect later identified as Cornealious A. grabbed her purse which was on her shoulder and began pulling on it in order to take her purse from her possession . She stated she was dragged across 4th Street causing the purse strap to break . Leblanc described the suspect as a black male , approximately 6'2 , athletic build , and wearing a black beanie-style hat, a shiny black puffy style jacket with squared pockets , and blue jeans . Leblanc stated that she last saw the subject running east on Gratiot towards the riverfront out of sight .

Witness Schrijuer stated he was in the vehicle during the incident. Schrijuer saw a black male suspect later identified as Cornealious A. approach Leblanc . He saw them exchanging words and moments later Schrijuer saw Cornealous A. pulling the purse from Leblanc before removing the purse off her arm in the middle of 4th Street. After hearing Leblanc yell f o r her purse , Schrijuer parked his vehicle , jumped out of the vehicle , and attempted to detain Cornealous A. to no avail .

P . P . O. Jamar Wright, DSN 11165, in car 3422, and P.O. David Pryor, DSN 3602 , in car 3406, received a radio assignment for a "Purse Snatching " at 806 South Broadway.

Sergeant Colin Rumpsa, DSN 5250, in car 2414 arrived and supervised the scene .

I was on patrol, in car 3423 , in the area near South 4th and Gratiot , when I heard a flash description broadcasted on the radio by Sgt Rumpsa, of a " tall, slender , black male wearing blue jeans , a black puffy coat with a shiny finish, and a black beanie hat. Sgt . Rumpsa also stated the subject may be in the area of 4th and Walnut and might have "ditched" his hat.

PPO Jamar Wright, DSN 11165 collected the following statements from the victim and witness :

Victim Debbie Leblanc stated she was standing outside of the White Castle located at 806 N Broadway when an unknown black male approached her asking if he could buy a cigarette . Leblanc said the subject then grabbed her purse , and pushed her to the ground. While Leblanc attempted to keep her purse she was dragged into the street . The subject then ran with her purse east on Gratiot until out of sight . Leblanc described the subject as a black male , clean shaven , wearing a black hat , black puffy coat with a shiny finish and blue jeans .

Witness Eric Schrijver said he was in his vehicle in the White Castle drive through when he observed the above mentioned subject approach Leblanc .

Schrijver said he lost visual contact with the subject when he ran north behind a building located at 4th and Gratiot . Schrijver described the subject as a black male , clean shaven, wearing a black hat , black puffy coat with a shiny finish and blue jeans .

I responded to the area of 4th and Walnut and saw a black male walking North on the west side of 4th street who matched the description of the suspect that was broadcasted. I ob s erved no other black males who fit his description in the area . I parked my patrol vehicle , identified myself as a police officer , and conducted a pedestrian check on the suspect later identified as Cornealious A. I informed Cornealious A . that he was being detained pending a further investigation about a purse snatching that recently occurr ed south of this location . Cornealious A. spontaneously stated that he was walking from the "Social House Bar " to his car located near 6th and Olive . When P.O .
