Liban Bashir Hussein Hassan

On May 7, 2026, at approximately 1454 hours, an on-patrol Officer observed a vehicle traveling southbound on County Road 81 in Robbinsdale, Hennepin County, at a visibly high rate of speed. The Officer began to follow the vehicle and was able to place it at speeds of approximately 80 MPH. The Officer activated his emergency lights and siren to initiate a traffic stop of the vehicle. The vehicle then fled from the Officer for a short distance before coming to an abrupt stop. As the Officer exited his vehicle, the suspect vehicle fled from him.

The Officer pursued the suspect vehicle which eventually clipped a curb and came to a stop due to the damage caused to the tire. Officers removed the driver, who was identified as LIBAN BASHIR HUSSEIN HASSAN ([DOB redacted]), Defendant herein, and placed him under arrest. While interacting with Defendant, Officers observed him to have bloodshot and watery eyes, and could smell the odor of alcoholic beverages on his breath. Based on this, Officers asked Defendant to perform a standardized field sobriety test.

Officers observed enough cues to ask Defendant to take a preliminary breath test, which Defendant refused. Defendant was then transported to the Robbinsdale Police Department where he was read the breath test advisory. Defendant again refused to take a breath test. Defendant is currently in custody.
