 Family of Champlin fugitive says 'turn yourself in'

A Champlin woman who violated her probation for a road rage crash, and was arrested last month in Ohio, is back in Minnesota.

Beth Rademacher is scheduled to face a judge on May 14.

Rademacher, 30, was convicted in a 2003 road rage crash that killed her boyfriend, Marvin Lindsey.

Rademacher was driving a car carrying Lindsey and two of their four children on Highway 169 in Brooklyn Park. She lost control of the vehicle as she and Lindsey fought with people in another car. The car flipped and Lindsey died.

Rademacher served a two-year sentence. She became a fugitive when she violated her probation.

The Minnesota Fugitive Task Force tracked her to Toledo, Ohio where she was arrested.

An arrest warrant filed on April 6 in Hennepin County District Court charges Rademacher with failure to report to probation since July 15 of last year, having contact with known felons and vehicle theft and damage to property in Pope County.

A federal complaint filed on April 17 charges Rademacher with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The complaint alleges that Rademacher fled the state of Minnesota in an attempt to avoid arrest for her probation violations in Hennepin County.

Rademacher is facing at least a four-year prison term.
