On or about May 27, 2026, Crystal police observed a confirmed stolen vehicle in the area of County Road 81 and Bass Lake Road in Crystal, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The vehicle was a Chrysler 200 with Minnesota license plates WT4076 and was stolen on May 26, 2026, from the city of Crystal. Crystal police got behind the vehicle and turned on lights to initiate a stop of the vehicle. At this point, the vehicle fled police at a high rate of speed onto Highway 100 where it fled away from police at speeds over 115 miles per hour.

Police pursued the vehicle in St. Louis Park where it entered a construction zone and one squad car became disabled. At this point, police terminated the pursuit. St. Louis Park police learned the vehicle ended up parking outside of a residence where all occupants ran from the vehicle. Police used a K9 to track the scene of all occupants to a detached garage to a residence on the 2400 block of Boone Avenue South in St. Louis Park, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The K9 alerted to the garage door indicating the occupants were in there.

The property owner gave police permission to enter the garage. Police entered the garage and located the suspects from the vehicle. One of the suspects was identified as ALLEN FRANCISCO FLOWERS [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein. The other two occupants were 16-year-old minors. One of those individuals had a black ski mask on his head on a day where the high temperature was 90 degrees, which would not be ideal temperatures for a ski mask unless that person was likely up to nefarious activities and using it to conceal their identity while committing potential crimes.

Police were able to obtain and view a camera from a residence that shows Defendant as the driver of the vehicle. Defendant was placed in a squad car and stated something to the effect of he didn't know the car was stolen because the keys were in it. Defendant is currently in custody for this offense and did not have permission to take or drive the vehicle or enter the detached garage.
