On April 10, 2026, law enforcement was on patrol in Bloomington, Hennepin County, Minnesota, when they noticed two vehicles parked side by side while occupied and running in the parking lot of the Super 8 Motel, which law enforcement noted had ongoing issues with narcotics use and other criminal activity. Law enforcement noticed both vehicles quickly left the parking lot and failed to use a turn signal while turning onto 2nd Ave S. Both vehicles then turned westbound onto E 78th St, and a vehicle with MN license plate TLZ680 once again failed to use a turn signal.
Law enforcement then initiated a traffic stop on MN TLZ680 by activating their emergency lights. It was later discovered that Anthony Charles Resemius, [DOB redacted] (Defendant herein), was the driver and sole occupant of MN TLZ680. The Defendant continued driving away from law enforcement.

Law enforcement continued following the Defendant, and speeds reached 70 mph on American Blvd W in Bloomington. Law enforcement then followed the Defendant onto France Ave, where speeds reached 70- 80 mph during the pursuit in Edina. Law enforcement unsuccessfully attempted a pit maneuver on the Defendant.
