Fleeing in a Motor Vehicle On July 15, 2024, Mounds View Police on patrol received a report from State Patrol that a motorcycle was traveling at very high speed — more than 100 mph — on westbound Interstate 694 and was now exiting to northbound Silver Lake Rd. Officers then observed the motorcycle on Silver Lake at Rice Creek Rd. As they turned to follow, the driver looked directly at them then accelerated away, including passing other vehicles in a no-passing zone. Officers activated their emergency lights and siren on Silver Lake near County Rd. H. They followed as the motorcycle continued at very high speed — about 80 mph —through multiple stop signs. Eventually the motorcycle turned onto eastbound Mounds View Blvd. A State Patrol helicopter began to follow it, as the Mounds View officers discontinued. Officers continued to receive updates from State Patrol that the motorcycle was traveling on southbound Interstate 35W. It was reported to still be traveling at high speed and to run red lights. Eventually it was reported to be pulling into the driveway of a home in Minneapolis, where the driver was said to be pushing it into the garage. Officers went to the home where the suspect was taken into custody. The motorcycle was with him. During jail booking, a dollar bill was found in the suspect's possession inside of which were suspected narcotics. In a presumptive test, the substance contained in the dollar bill tested positive for the presence of methamphetamine. Further investigation by Investigator Erickson included obtaining surveillance footage, agency reports, submitting the motorcycle for forfeiture, reviewing the suspect's criminal history, and documenting phone calls made by the suspect from jail. The suspect was charged with Fleeing Police in a Motor Vehicle and 5tn Degree Controlled Substance Possession. Interference with Privacy On July 12, 2024, Investigator Erickson investigated a case where the 19-year-old victim reported to police that she caught her maternal grandfather peeking through her bedroom window as she was changing clothes at her apartment. While the victim was undressing, she saw the suspect standing right at her window, bent over, and looking into her room. The suspect took off running. The victim immediately told her mother what happened. The victim and her mother later went to the suspect's house to confront him. Investigator Erickson brought in the suspect for interviewing. The suspect waved legal counsel and through the interview the suspect admitted to watching the victim through the window but claimed he couldn't see anything. The case was reviewed by the Ramsey County Attorney's Office and the suspect was charged with Interference with Privacy. Criminal Sexual Conduct On 2-16-2024, Officers were dispatched to the 2300 block of Mounds View Blvd for a sexual assault that had just occurred. Officers met with the victim who stated that a male she met off a dating App several months ago, showed up at her apartment and sexually assaulted her. She had not seen the male since they dated months ago. The victim was transported to the Hospital where a SANE Exam was completed.
