A 33-year-old man hailing from Illinois found himself under arrest in Minnesota after allegedly attempting to run over a woman he became “upset” with following their initial date.

Alexander Lee Dennis Jr. was apprehended last week and now faces several serious charges, including second-degree assault, fleeing from law enforcement in a vehicle, and possession of stolen property, according to court documents reviewed by Law&Crime.

On the evening of Tuesday, October 21, Dennis traveled to Virginia, a town located in Minnesota’s Iron Range, for a date with a woman he had been corresponding with on Facebook, as reported by the Kansas City Star, referencing a probable cause affidavit.

The pair met at Tommy’s Rainy Lake Saloon in Virginia, which is situated approximately 200 miles northeast of Minneapolis, according to a report by Bring Me The News.

While at the bar, authorities noted that Dennis began to exhibit signs of agitation. After departing from the venue, Dennis was expected to drive the woman back to her residence.

However, the victim became particularly concerned when Dennis allegedly drove past her house, instead traveling to a local Lucky Seven store. Then, when she tried to exit Dennis’ vehicle, the victim reportedly said he “grabbed her by the shoulders and yanked her back into the vehicle.”

A short while later, the victim managed to escape the vehicle, the affidavit says. As she was walking along the sidewalk in front of the store, Dennis allegedly drove his vehicle over the curb and attempted to strike the victim with his car. While the victim was able to avoid Dennis’ car, he allegedly swerved and attempted to hit her a second time.

Though the victim was able to escape, she called a friend and 911, telling both that Dennis had tried to run her down and was currently following her. Police responded to the scene and soon located Dennis’ Audi sedan, which was reportedly fleeing the scene “at a high rate of speed.”

Authorities said they located the Audi a short distance away. It had been abandoned. They later discovered that the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Indiana. Not far from where the abandoned vehicle was located, police reportedly found Dennis as he was walking through a Target parking lot.

Dennis reportedly told police he did not know why he was being placed under arrest before refusing to speak to officers. He is currently being held in the St. Louis County Jail without bond, records show.
