Hastings Man Charged With Felony Drug Possession, Fleeing Police

A Hastings man was arrested on multiple felony charges stemming from an incident where he fled police earlier this week.

According to the Dakota County arrest report, 33-year-old Brady Paul Dankers was arrested on a 5th Degree Possession Schedule 1, 2, 3, 4 or paraphernalia residual charge, as well as Fleeing a Peace Officer in a Motor Vehicle charge; both are felonies.

The fleeing the peace officer charge carries with it a possible sentence of not more than three years and one day in prison, or a fine of up to $5,000, or both.

As with any criminal case, a charge is merely an accusation, and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
