(Spirit Lake)--More details have been released about the arrest of a Spencer man who led officers on a high speed pursuit this past weekend in Dickinson County.
According to online court documents, at about 10:20 p.m. on October 31st, 20-year-old Jason Hauschen was seen by Arnolds Park officers driving a motorcycle southbound on Highway 71 at a speed of about 61 miles per hour in a marked 45 miles per hour zone.
The criminal complaint says officers tried to perform a traffic stop and activated emergency lights and sirens but Hasuchen continued to travel southbound at high rates of speed, appearing to reach 100 miles per hour before turning onto Terrace Park Boulevard and traveling north.
Hauschen then turned East on 202nd Street towards Highway 71, still followed by Arnolds Park police, traveling southbound on Highway 71. Officers say he turned towards P Avenue in Milford before crashing the motorcycle into a shop. The motorcycle reportedly had fraudulent plates and did not have insurance or current registration.
Hauschen is charged with: eluding at speeds of 25 mph over the limit, driving under suspension,
fraudulent use of registration, speeding, interference with official acts, failure to provide proof of financial liability and failure to obey a stop or yield sign.
Hauschen was being held inthe Dickinson County Jail on a $10,000 bond.
A preliminary hearing on the eluding charge, a class D felony, is set for November 10th at 4 pm in Dickinson County Court. A pre-trial conference on the other charges is scheduled for April 8, 2027, at 4 p.m.
