A rural Austin man who allegedly fled police while drunk pleaded not guilty Thursday to five charges in Mower County Court.

Tony Michael Bell, 24, pleaded not guilty to fleeing a police officer, a felony; two counts of gross misdemeanor DWI; and charges for misdemeanor speeding and petty misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

An Austin police officer arrested Bell after a high-speed chase around 1 a.m. Friday, July 6. The officer followed Bell north of Austin on County Road 25 after he clocked Bell’s truck going 77 mph in a 40 mph zone. When the officer turned his lights on, Bell allegedly sped up to 92 mph and eventually turned his lights off, as well. The officer saw Bell turn down a gravel drive and park behind a shed, where the officer followed and arrested him. After Bell stopped, he didn’t resist arrest. Bell’s breath test showed a .16 blood-alcohol content; and according to the court complaint, Bell has previously been convicted of fourth- and third-degree DWI.

His pretrial is set for Sept. 21.
