Man wanted on Iowa warrant chased by police across state lines
ALLAMAKEE COUNTY, Iowa (KCRG) – A man wanted on an Iowa arrest warrant was chased across state lines by police Wednesday.
The Allamakee County Sheriff’s Office received a report from the Houston County, Minnesota Sheriff’s Office at 10:16 a.m. Wednesday.
Houston County police informed the Allamakee County Sheriff’s Office they were chasing a vehicle headed toward the Iowa-Minnesota border.
The vehicle, driven by 39-year-old Tyler Pierce, had struck a Houston County Sheriff’s vehicle while attempting to outrun law enforcement.
After receiving the report from the Houston County Sheriff’s Office, the chase entered Allamakee County and continued south on State Highway 76 N.
This is when Allamakee County deputies joined Houston County police in the chase.
Pierce drove westbound into Winneshiek County and then crossed state lines again into Filmore County, Minnesota.
Police deployed stop sticks, deflating three of Pierce’s tires.
However, he continued to drive over 90 mph in an attempt to evade the police.
Pierce then entered the city of Preston, Minnesota on Highway 52, where he attempted to pass a semi-truck trailer.
However, he failed to pass and instead struck the semi, causing severe damage to his vehicle.
Pierce’s car eventually came to a stop, and he was taken into custody.
Pierce was transported to a Rochester, Minnesota hospital for treatment of his injuries.
No other people were injured in the chase.
A Houston County Sheriff patrol car and an Allamakee County Sheriff patrol car were damaged during the pursuit.
Pierce is now in the custody of Minnesota Law Enforcement.

You know that viral mac and cheese place? The one that slathers every bowl with ungodly amounts of cheese? The one that makes you feel lactose intolerant just looking at it?
Yeah. Roni’s Mac Bar is opening its second Iowa location, this time in Waukee.
The store will celebrate with a grand opening on Saturday, May 16 at 10:30 a.m. sharp
In a video on social media, the company credits the new location choice to the Waukee man who drove to a location in Waco, Texas, asked for a bowl so cheesy that the chef making it felt lactose-intolerant just looking at it.
Frank Senese, chief executive officer of Roni’s Mac and Cheese, said the business as the “Chipotle of mac and cheese.”
“It’s comfort food; whether you’re a hungover college kid, tattooed biker or a little princess in a tutu, you’re going to find something here that you’ll love,” Senese told the Ames Tribune before the company’s restaurant opened there in 2025. “It’s a fun way to think outside the box.”
The first 100 people to get in line can spin the wheel for a chance to win giveaways and a year’s worth of mac and cheese.
Roni’s Mac bar boasts massive menu
The quote, “Think outside the box” is painted on the wall inside the mac and cheese bar, and the menu certainly inspires customers to do just that.
Roni’s Mac Bar has created a menu of more than 77 million possible combinations that continues to grow, Senese said.
Every bowl can be unique, with drizzles like pesto and ranch, and toppings such as tomatoes and even pineapple − a topping that can be a key indicator of a repeat customer, Senese said.
