The fire lane will get you every single time…..<br />

On January 25th, while on routine patrol, Sergeant Collins located a vehicle parked<br />

in a fire lane at a local retail outlet. Upon making contact with the driver, Collins<br />

discovered the man provided a fictitious name because he had a revoked driver’s<br />

license. A record’s check revealed the suspect had a history <strong>of</strong> providing false information<br />

to police <strong>of</strong>ficers and was arrested for driving after revocation on previous<br />

occasions. The man was jailed for providing false information to police, and driving<br />

after cancellation.<br />

You’re not that old..Where do you find the time to get into so much trouble?<br />

On January 25th, HealthEast Paramedics called 911 to report a vehicle<br />

parked in the middle <strong>of</strong> Galaxie Avenue. They reported seeing an adult<br />

male “slumped over” in the vehicle. Officers arrived and made contact with<br />

the driver. Immediately, they could smell an alcoholic odor coming from<br />

inside the vehicle and could see a bottle <strong>of</strong> whiskey perched on the seat<br />

next to the suspect. The man admitted to driving his vehicle and consuming<br />

alcohol. He was taken into custody and arrested for DUI, liquor possession<br />

by persons under the age <strong>of</strong> 21, open bottle, driving after revocation, and<br />

for two outstanding arrest warrants. A record’s check also confirmed two prior DUI’s in 2011. He<br />

had an initial blood alcohol level <strong>of</strong> .159.<br />

“This was stupid, I did it”….<br />

On January 25th, <strong>of</strong>ficers responded to a theft in progress occurring at a local retail outlet. They<br />

arrived and discovered the suspect fled in a vehicle. Moments later, Officer Ondrey located the<br />

suspect on 35E and initiated a traffic stop. He made contact with the suspect who immediately<br />

stated, “This was stupid, I did it.” The suspect was arrested and taken into custody, and a record’s<br />

check confirmed he was driving without a valid driver’s license. The suspect was cited for<br />

misdemeanor theft, driving after suspension, no pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> insurance and trespassing.<br />

Forget something in your haste?……<br />

On January 26th, <strong>of</strong>ficers were dispatched to the area <strong>of</strong> Cliff and Rahncliff<br />

Roads for a traffic accident. They arrived and discovered a vehicle hit a semaphore<br />

and fled the scene and noted a headlight from the suspect vehicle was left at the scene. A<br />

short time later, a male suspect along with his vehicle were located nearby. The vehicle had damage<br />

which coincided with the damage to the semaphore. Additionally, the headlight located at the<br />

crash scene belonged on the suspect vehicle. The driver was arrested for DUI, hit and run, driving<br />

after revocation, and possessing drug paraphernalia.<br />

You are not nice people……..<br />

On January 31st, while on routine patrol, Officer Boekh<strong>of</strong>f attempted to stop a<br />

vehicle (occupied by multiple people) for a semaphore violation. The vehicle<br />

took-<strong>of</strong>f, and a short pursuit ensued. When the car stopped, one person got out<br />

and complied with <strong>of</strong>ficers. The driver <strong>of</strong> the vehicle, along with another occupant<br />

“bailed” and fled on foot. While running from police, the driver dropped a<br />

magazine loaded with .40 caliber ammunition. Ultimately, both were located and arrested by<br />

<strong>Eagan</strong> <strong>Police</strong>. A Bloomington K-9 arrived to help search for additional evidence and located a .40<br />

caliber handgun. The driver was arrested and jailed for fleeing police in a motor vehicle, felon in<br />

possession <strong>of</strong> firearm, possession <strong>of</strong> marijuana in motor vehicle, possession <strong>of</strong> drug paraphernalia,<br />
