The following is based on your complainant’s review of the reports of other officers and your complainant’s own investigation: On November 23, 2025, at shortly before 1:00am, a Minnesota State Trooper on patrol observed a Honda Accord traveling at very high speed – more than 30 mph above the limit – on eastbound Interstate 94 west of White Bear Ave. The trooper activated his squad emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop, as the Accord exited onto southbound White Bear. The vehicle then entered a parking lot at White Bear and Suburban Ave., St. Paul, Ramsey County.
The trooper activated his spotlight, believing that the vehicle would stop there. Instead, it exited northbound back onto White Bear. The trooper activated his siren and pursued. He could see that there were two occupants, with the passenger appearing to have long hair. He performed a pursuit-intervention technique (PIT), briefly causing the Acura to spin. But it then proceeded back southbound onto White Bear, passing a St. Paul Police squad car as it did. The Acura then accelerated away at very high speed.
The trooper discontinued the pursuit, for safety reasons. He could see the vehicle drive through a stop sign and into a residential neighborhood at more than 100 mph in a 30-mph zone, all with its headlights and interior lights off. This southern section of White Bear Ave. Ends in a dead-end loop. The trooper and St. Paul officers went there and found the Acura parked in a driveway, unoccupied. They heard a noise in the brush and found a man sitting in the grass of a nearby yard. He identified himself only as “Abdul.” He was later identified as the defendant, PARIS LANE QUINN STEVENSON-LAMPKINS ([DOB REDACTED]). St. Paul Police identified the defendant as the person that they had seen fleeing in the Acura immediately after the PIT. In his pocket was a key was later determined to belong to the Acura.
It was recovered. A second man was found in the next yard over. His hair was long (consistent with the trooper’s identification of the passenger). He identified himself as the defendant’s brother. He said that he had been asleep in the Acura, with the defendant driving, when the PIT was performed. He said that the defendant referenced fleeing police, though he claimed that he did not see any lights or see any siren himself. The defendant and his brother were transported to the Law Enforcement Center.
Officers heard the defendant yell to the brother, “don’t tell them nothing!” In a Mirandized interview, the defendant said that the Acura belongs to his brother’s mother. (This was later confirmed.) But he denied that either he or his brother were driving it that night. Instead, he claimed to have arrived in the area on foot in order to visit someone – although he was unable to describe where he was coming from or who he was visiting. The brother declined to make any further statement. The defendant's criminal record includes at least two felony convictions, both for Possession of Pistol Without Permit.
