WINONA Minn. – Police chased a motorist who fled into the Winona State campus on foot after a traffic stop, but he got away. Kinda. Sorta. An officer had stopped a car for bad tags on West 11th Street. The driver opened his car door and ran into the campus. The officer gave chase, but the driver vanished into a building. This was about 5 p.m. Later in the evening, the officer, having the driver’s name from the abandoned car’s registration, went to a house 12 blocks away to confront the guy – and perhaps make an arrest. The officer said the man peeked out a window and ran out the back. Rather than give chase again, the officer called the man on the phone The officer said the guy stated the obvious: That he hadn’t wanted to be arrested for lacking current car plates. That ticket would have been easier for David Kiante Munson, 25. Now he’s been mailed a citation for three infractions — for the expired plates, for fleeing, and for failing to comply.
