On September 14, 2024, at approximately 1:19p.m. Des Moines County deputies attempted to stop a motorcycle for a registration violation at Oak St. and Ashmun St. The motorcycle failed to pull over and accelerated as deputies activated their emergency lights and sirens. Deputies pursued the motorcycle through the north side of Burlington.
The pursuit continued until the suspect pulled into a drive in the 1200 block of Washington St. and lost control of the motorcycle, laying it down. The suspect, identified as Littlewill Tucker Minton, 40, of Burlington, attempted to flee on foot and was shortly taken into custody. A check of his driving status showed he was revoked, and a registration check on the motorcycle revealed it was stolen out of Burlington in 2021.
A search of Minton was conducted, and law enforcement located multiple baggies of suspected crack cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana as well as a large sum of cash. Minton was transported to Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center to check on injuries he sustained during the pursuit. He was later transported to the Des Moines County Correctional Center and charged with fail to display registration plate, eluding 2nd or subsequent offense, driving while revoked, reckless driving, possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, possession with intent to deliver crack cocaine, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, failure to affix a drug tax stamp, and theft 2nd.
