On March 22, 2015 just after 2:15 am, officers from the Minneapolis Police Department’s 3rd Precinct were on routine patrol in the area of 28th and Bloomington when they observed a red VW vehicle traveling southbound on Bloomington at an exceptionally high rate of speed. Officers observed the vehicle to be weaving back and forth in it’s own lane of travel. Officers got behind the suspect vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop.
The suspect vehicle continued at the high rate of speed and failed to pull over.
