Published: March 18, 2026
APPLE VALLEY, MINNESOTA: A 20-year-old Apple Valley man is facing a felony charge after allegedly fleeing from law enforcement during a high-speed incident earlier this week, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dakota County. Kayleb Nyrell Jackson, of Apple Valley, has been charged with one count of Felony Fleeing a Peace Officer in a Motor Vehicle in connection with the incident, which occurred on March 23, 2026.
High-Speed Pursuit Reaches 100 MPH
According to the statement of probable cause, officers with the Apple Valley Police Department were alerted by the Shakopee Police Department about a vehicle that had fled from officers earlier in the day. Authorities identified that the vehicle was associated with an address in Apple Valley. An officer later located the vehicle traveling eastbound on 150th Street West. After turning around to follow it, the officer observed the vehicle accelerate rapidly.
Court documents state the officer reached speeds exceeding 80 miles per hour but was unable to catch up. When the emergency lights were activated, the suspect vehicle reportedly accelerated further, reaching approximately 100 miles per hour.
Due to the dangerous speeds, the officer discontinued the pursuit.
A short time later, another officer located the same vehicle and attempted to stop it. The driver allegedly began reversing down a street to evade law enforcement. Officers then coordinated to block the vehicle using squad cars, successfully preventing it from escaping.
At that point, authorities say the driver exited the vehicle and ran into a nearby residence. Officers pursued on foot and found the door locked after the suspect entered. After announcing themselves, officers forced entry into the home and located the suspect inside. He was identified as Jackson and taken into custody.
Bail and Conditions
The prosecution is requesting that Jackson’s bail be set at $20,000 without conditions or $15,000 with conditions. The judge ultimately set bail at $15,000 without conditions and $5,000 with conditions. It appears he has posted bail, as Dakota County Jail no longer shows him in their custody.
As with all criminal cases, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
