An armed robbery suspect who allegedly held his girlfriend hostage during a standoff with police last week in Anoka has been charged with two felonies.
Richard Daily II was charged Monday with first-degree robbery and illegal possession of a firearm, according to a complaint filed in Anoka County District Court.
According to the charges:
Daily, 35, is accused of robbing a Walmart on Ball Road NE. on April 4 in Blaine and threatening an employee with a gun before leaving the store.
The next day, Blaine police identified Daily as the suspect and began searching for him with help from several agencies. Law enforcement tracked Daily to a car wash parking lot on the 600 block of E. River Road in Anoka.
Law enforcement surrounded Daily's vehicle and learned his girlfriend was inside. Police and a SWAT team negotiated with Daily to surrender.
Daily rammed several police vehicles in the parking lot, but he was trapped. He was taken to the Anoka County jail.
Daily, who remains jailed, was booked on outstanding warrants from five other agencies, court records show.
