Police arrived on scene and say they saw a black male with his pants and underwear down, on top of a woman laying on the ground.
Officers say they identified themselves, and Baker started yelling and walking toward them aggressively.
Court records say an officer drew his gun and gave Baker commands to show his hands and get on the ground, but Baker continued to approach him aggressively.
“Kedrick stated multiple times while flexing and walking towards me that he was not going to get on the ground,” the officer wrote in court records.
Baker was hit with a taser three times before finally sitting on the ground.
Baker’s victim was laying on the ground, partially unclothed and still crying.
According to court records, the victim says Baker followed her from the NP Avenue bridge.
She says she had seen him before, but did not know him and threw a rock at Baker to get him to stop following her.
The woman told officers that Baker assaulted her and tried to suffocate her, saying he was on top of her for at least 15 minutes. She says she started screaming because she didn’t know what else to do, court records state.
Police also interviewed a friend of the victim who was reportedly nearby and heard her creaming “get off of me”, while the victim also “kept going quiet.”
Baker and the female victim were both taken from the scene by separate ambulances. The woman was taken to a hospital to be evaluated. Court records say a rape kit was done and the victim possibly had broken ribs from the incident.
Baker was taken to a different hospital and medically cleared before being taken to the Cass County Jail.
Valley News Live previously reported on Kedrick Baker in 2021. At that time, he was charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct for allegedly following women and groping them at a grocery store in Moorhead.
Clay County Court records show he was convicted on one count of 5th degree criminal sexual conduct in April of 2024.
He was sentenced to serve 275 days in the Clay County Jail, but given credit for 224 days already served, so ended up serving about 50 more days in jail. The second charge was dismissed.
