He is awaiting arraingnment and faces charges of attempted murder, felon in possession of a firearm, second-degree assault, and reckless discharge of a firearm.
Law enforcement discovered a second gun, which was not used in the Wednesday shooting, in the Winona apartment where Bailey was found, Moilanen said.
Bailey was located because of the large number of resources RPD put on the case, Moilanen said.
One element in his discovery was that Bailey, a predatory offender, had visited Rochester police to update his address early Wednesday, and there was security footage of him at the time.
He allegedly wore the same outfit in the security footage of the gas station shooting Wednesday night, Moilanen said.
