A 38-year-old Albert Lea man is accused of speeding away from a sheriff’s deputy in a car and then running away from the same deputy and an Albert Lea police officer.

According to court documents, the arrest took place at about 3 p.m. Wednesday after deputy Corey Farris of the Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a Minnesota Department of Corrections agent asking to help locate the man, Humberto Acosta. The agent asked to obtain a urine sample from Acosta for drug testing, as he is on supervised release after serving a prison term for second-degree assault.

Records state Farris found Acosta at Nelson’s Shell at the intersection of Bridge Avenue and Fountain Street. The deputy told Acosta he had to provide a urine sample, and Acosta “became agitated” and asked if he could take his car home instead of leaving it in the parking lot, documents state.

The deputy told Acosta they wouldn’t do anything further until a marked squad arrived asked him what he had in his pockets.

“He became all the more agitated,” court records state.

Farris warned Acosta that he was not free to leave and that he would be charged with fleeing if he attempted to drive away, the records continued. But Acosta drove away rapidly, and Farris followed with lights and siren.

A marked squad car joined the chase with lights and siren as well.

Acosta drove to 718 N. Bridge Ave. and ran into the house there. Officers followed directly behind him.

Records state Acosta went into the kitchen and then into the living room, with police yelling to stop the whole way. He then reached an outside door, but before he could open the door he had to unlock a deadbolt.

An officer caught up to Acosta and told him to stop again and then shocked him with a Taser, according to documents. The man fell forward out the door and into a bush.

After he reportedly resisted handcuffing, the officer gave him another Taser shock.

Acosta was charged in Freeborn County District Court on Thursday with one count of fleeing an officer in a motor vehicle and one count of fleeing an officer on foot after he reportedly refused to take a urine test as part of his parole conditions.

Acosta faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for the charge of fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle and a maximum penalty of 90 days and a $1,000 fine for the charge of fleeing on foot.

Unconditional bail was set Thursday at $25,000, and conditional bail was set at $15,000.

Conditions include having contact with his probation officer, not leaving Minnesota without permission, no alcohol or drug use, random testing, remaining law abiding, signing a waiver of extradition and not using or possessing a weapon.

His next court appearance is scheduled for 1 p.m. May 26.
