That on or about June 23, 2024, at approximately 11:40 P.M. Several MPD Officers responded to several calls involving an SUV vehicle that crashed into a business storefront at [ADDRESS REDACTED], Minneapolis, Hennepin County, MN. One of the 911 callers provided a description of a black male observed exiting the driver’s seat of the crashed vehicle and then fled the scene on foot. Upon arrival, the officers observed that a black GMC Yukon vehicle, MN KSX 586, had been driven through a glass window of the business.
On scene the officers further observed apparent skid marks indicating the SUV had weaved at a SW angle, hopped the curb, collided into and through a green metal fence, then through the business’ window. The SUV’s front hood was resting inside the store and airbags were deployed. An inventory search was conducted on the vehicle during which live munitions were observed behind the driver’s seat as well as a box of live munitions. Also observed in the driver’s seat was a prescription bottle bearing the name of Marshun D. Jackson.
Officers observed nearby a male on foot who matched the specific description of the caller had provided of the driver. The officers observed the male appeared to be losing his balance as he walked. The male flagged down the officers for help and stated that he needed to go to the hospital because he was hurt. That male was later identified as being Jackson, Marshun Devon, 12/19/1988, Defendant herein. As assisting Officer Ireland spoke with Defendant, two people nearby informed the officer they had personally observed the Defendant exit the crashed SUV and flee.
Officer Ireland observed Defendant had dried blood around his lops, was sweating profusely, and had pinpoint pupils. Defendant was moving about, unable to still his body and he spoke with a quick, odd cadence. Defendant responded to questions in a non-sensical manner and stated he was hearing clicking noises. Defendant admitted he had taken ecstasy earlier. While still on scene, the officers viewed the building’s security footage of the crash which further revealed that shortly after the crash Defendant exited the vehicle through the driver’s door, ran away from the scene, and that no one else was in the vehicle nor exited the vehicle.
Based on all the foregoing, the officers reasonably suspected Defendant was impaired by a narcotic. Defendant was arrested and transported to HCMC. A search warrant was obtained from a Hennepin County judge for a draw of Defendant’s blood or urine. Defendant was transported to HCMC and was informed that refusal to comply with the search warrant draw of his blood or urine is a crime. Defendant agreed to provide a blood sample which was obtained at 1:11 A.M. By a registered nurse. Defendant’s blood sample was later analyzed by the Minnesota BCA and revealed the presence of cocaine and benzoylecgonine (a metabolite of cocaine), both of which are a schedule II-controlled substance.
