A Minneapolis man who reportedly led a Minnesota State Patrol trooper on a chase at speeds of more than 120 mph last month on Interstate 35 in Freeborn County pleaded guilty Wednesday to fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle.

Travion Damond Simms, 20, pleaded guilty in front of Freeborn County District Court Judge Ross Leuning.

Court documents state a trooper received a report shortly after 4:30 p.m. May 14 that a Nissan Altima was speeding, crossing over fog lines and centerlines and passing semis on the righthand shoulder one mile north of the Minnesota and Iowa border on I-35.

Simms admitted Wednesday to not coming to a full stop after a trooper activated his emergency lights once the vehicle was registered speeding seven miles north. Speeds reportedly soon exceeded 100 mph, and the chase continued two miles north on I-35 when the vehicle passed several others on the shoulder before weaving into the left lane.

Court documents state the trooper was traveling 124 mph and the vehicle was still pulling away.

The chase continued north of Ellendale before the vehicle struck stop sticks one mile north of the Hope exit, and the chase ended.

Simms was later identified. He reportedly said he had fled because he knew his license had been suspended and he had no insurance for the vehicle. He had reportedly been trying to get as close as possible to the Twin Cities.

Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 4.

Simms faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison. Under the plea agreement, any additional jail time Simms receives will be stayed, dependent on him meeting court obligations.
