Red Lake Man Charged After 100 MPH Police Chase

Red Lake (trfnews.i234.me) — Kyle James Neadeau faces a felony charge after a high-speed pursuit in Beltrami County.

The charge stems from an incident reported during the early morning of June 30, 2025.

Prosecutors accuse Neadeau of fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle.

The allegations are detailed in a Beltrami County District Court complaint.

Traffic Stop Turns Into High-Speed Pursuit

The complaint says a deputy was patrolling near Highway 89 and Lumberjack Road Northwest.

The deputy noticed a vehicle with an unusually loud exhaust at about 12:45 a.m.

Authorities say the deputy activated emergency lights and attempted a traffic stop.

The driver allegedly accelerated away instead of stopping.

The deputy then activated the squad car’s siren, according to the complaint.

The vehicle allegedly reached speeds near 100 mph during the pursuit.

The chase continued for about 13 miles before entering the Red Lake Indian Reservation.

During the pursuit, a female passenger allegedly leaned from a passenger window.

The complaint says she twice aimed a flashlight toward the pursuing deputy.

The fleeing vehicle eventually entered an open field, according to court records.

Authorities later found two adults hiding in the field near the vehicle.

They were identified as Kyle James Neadeau and Cherie Kay Kingbird.

Investigators said Neadeau had the vehicle’s keys when he was located.

The complaint also describes a statement Neadeau allegedly made after the pursuit.

Neadeau allegedly said he swallowed about five grams of methamphetamine during the chase.

The complaint stated Neadeau and Kingbird were then being held in Red Lake.

The document did not provide a release date at that time.

Prosecutors charged Neadeau under Minnesota’s motor vehicle fleeing law.

Minnesota Statute 609.487 classifies the basic motor vehicle offense as a felony.

A conviction can bring up to three years and one day in prison.

The law also allows a fine of up to $5,000.

The court complaint also lists several previous convictions involving Neadeau.

Those include prior burglary, theft, DWI, property, fraud, and fleeing cases.

Those earlier cases do not establish guilt in the new case.

The current court case is listed as 04-CR-25-1807.

Readers can search public records through Minnesota Court Records Online.

The current charge is an allegation and does not establish guilt.

Neadeau is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
