Bryce Abbot Kahn

On March 20, 2026 at approximately 0156 hours, Ofc. Ulrich initiated a traffic stop for expired registration near Center Street W and 1st Avenue SW Rochester, in Olmsted County. The driver was identified as defendant herein, Bryce Abbot Kahn [DOB REDACTED]. Ofc. Ulrich observed defendant’s eyes to be bloodshot and watery, and observed rapid speech and exaggerated movements consistent with controlled substance use. Ulrich asked defendant about alcohol consumption to which defendant responded, “Lots, three hundred gallons of moonshine.” Defendant stated he had been smoking marijuana.

Defendant told Ulrich to go write a ticket and was uncooperative with questions regarding alcohol use. Ulrich asked defendant to step out of the vehicle for sobriety tests, at which time defendant rolled up his window and fled the traffic stop in the motor vehicle. Defendant did not drive away at a high rate of speed, but Ulrich deactivated his emergency lights and observed Defendant’s direction of travel. Ulrich located defendant on the 1000 block of W Center Street. Defendant was ordered out of the vehicle.

Defendant stated that he’d only had one beer. As defendant was apprehended, he repeatedly refused orders to step out of the vehicle. Officers attempted to physically remove defendant from the vehicle, which he physically resisted by pulling his arms away and leaning his weight back into the vehicle. Defendant was transported to the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center. Ulrich obtained a search warrant for defendant’s blood or urine, which was signed by judicial officer. Defendant was notified of the warrant and warned that refusal to give a blood or urine sample is a crime.

Defendant refused to provide either blood or urine. Defendant stated he would provide a breath sample, but was refusing the warrant. Defendant was given another opportunity to provide a blood or urine sample, and was again told that refusal to provide such a sample was a crime. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: YOU MUST APPEAR FOR EVERY COURT HEARING REGARDING THIS CASE. FAILURE TO APPEAR FOR COURT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE AND MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL CRIMINAL CHARGES BEING IMPOSED AND PUNISHED AS PROVIDED IN MINNESOTA STATUTES SECTION 609.49.
