Cully Thomas Shierts, 22, of Albert Lea was charged with felony fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle and felony fifth-degree possession of a controlled substance on Wednesday in Freeborn County District Court.

According to the court complaint, Albert Lea police officers were dispatched on Tuesday to the Motor Inn in Albert Lea regarding a suspicious vehicle. Dispatch advised it was believed subjects were attempting to steal a snow blower from another vehicle. A description of the vehicle and the plate numbers matched a vehicle owner by Shierts, who had an active warrant. Officers were then advised the vehicle had left the motel and was at a traffic light at Main Street West and Blake Avenue.

An officer located the vehicle and began to follow, then activated his siren. The vehicle initially pulled over on the side of the County Road 46 in the area of 790th Avenue, then pulled off the shoulder. The officer pursued the vehicle, which passed another vehicle on County Road 46 in a no passing zone. Speeds exceeded 90 miles per hour on roads that were covered in ice and snow. The chase continued onto County Road 26 and Interstate 90 before getting back on County Road 46.

The chase entered Mower County, where Mower County deputies were able to hit the vehicle with stop sticks. The chase continued onto Oakland Avenue into Austin, where the vehicle turned onto 22nd Street Northwest. The lead officer then observed the vehicle park in the driveway of a residence at 20th Street Northwest near the backside of a snow bank. The vehicle’s doors were open.

The officer behind the lead officer observed a male in dark clothing carrying a backpack running up the driveway towards the backyard. He pursued the suspect and saw the backpack lying on top of snow next to a bush. He then ran to the south side of the house and arrested Shierts, who was trying to run through snow.

Police searched the backpack and found hypodermic syringes, a digital scale, plastic bags that had a powdery residue that later tested positive for methamphetamine, and a small bag of marijuana. They also found an EBT card and Minnesota picture ID, both belonging to Shierts.

At the Freeborn County Jail, officers spoke to Shierts, who said he ran because he knew he had a warrant and that drugs were in the vehicle. He initially said he was visiting a friend in Albert Lea, then admitted he was there to sell drugs.

A review of Shierts’ criminal record shows juvenile adjudications for burglary and convictions for theft, domestic assault and drug possession. He is currently awaiting disposition on charges in Freeborn County of receiving stolen property, fifth-degree drug possession, possession of metal knuckles and driving after revocation of his license. He recently pleaded guilty to felony second-degree drugs-sale of 10 grams or more of a narcotic other than heroin in Mower County District Court.

Shierts will appear in court again on March 7.

Ask a Trooper: Are increased speeds a potential safety issue?

Ask a Trooper by Troy Christianson

Question: What is the State Patrol’s perspective on raising the speed limit on certain two-lane roads from 55 mph to 60 mph? As a law enforcement agency, you’re concerned about speeders, so is this a potential safety issue?

Answer:As troopers, we patrol the roads 24 hours a day, and it’s troubling how some drivers seem pretty nonchalant about how fast they’re driving. People may feel confident about their driving skills, and especially when the skies are clear, roads are dry and you’re cruising on the open road, it’s tempting to drive too fast.

Tragically, we see the carnage, heartache and statistics from those bad choices. Speeding in Minnesota and across the country is one of the top behaviors claiming the lives of too many people. In 2017, 25 percent of fatalities in the state were related to speed.

Thankfully, we know that establishing speed limits and enforcing the law help to save lives. Here’s what Col. Matt Langer, chief of the Minnesota State Patrol, has to say about the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s decision to increase speed limits on certain roads statewide: “The Minnesota State Patrol relies on the expertise of the Minnesota Department of Transportation to set speed limits based on road design and other factors. Law enforcement will hold drivers accountable when they exceed those limits. Drivers who disregard posted speed limits, don’t drive according to existing conditions or drive aggressively are making the selfish choice that their time is more precious than the lives of others on the road. The reality is their time and life could forever end if they get into a crash.”

You can avoid a ticket — and a crash — if you simply buckle up, drive at safe speeds, pay attention and always drive sober.Help us drive Minnesota toward zero deaths.
