Dylan Thomas McKenzie, 27, was arrested on charges of felony and petty misdemeanor-level possession of marijuana. He was also ticketed for obstruction and fleeing police, according to police.
Judge Mary Leahy released McKenzie on his own recognizance Thursday morning, despite McKenzie failing to appear in court in June and a recent move without notifying court administration.
According to the police report, officers went to McKenzie’s mother’s home in the 450 block of West Fourth Street about 4:45 p.m. Wednesday to execute the warrant. They found McKenzie sitting on the back porch, and as they approached, he went into the house and ran out the front door.
Police chased and yelled several times for McKenzie to stop. He refused, yelling back that he would not go to jail, Deputy Chief Paul Bostrack said. McKenzie eventually turned around and began running back to the house, but a deputy shocked him with a Taser just before he got inside, police say.
McKenzie was arrested and brought to the Winona County Jail.
