Thirty-nine-year-old Jason Rothmeyer pled guilty  Monday to fleeing police resulting in death, and two counts of criminal vehicular operation - gross negligence and causing great bodily harm. 

The guilty pleas mean a jury trial — which was scheduled to begin Monday  — was canceled and a sentencing date has been set for Dec. 12. 

Nine remaining charges against Rothmeyer will be dismissed at sentencing.

Rothmeyer caused a crash in August 2018 that killed 18-year-old Kyle Foley of Dassel.

Prosecutors say Rothmeyer’s blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit for driving when Rothmeyer left Pebble Creek Golf Course and was weaving outside his lane. 

An officer responded to a tip about a drunk driver on Sherburne Co.  Rd. 23 and tried to stop him, but Rothmeyer sped away. Records show Rothmeyer was driving his pickup at speeds of up to 100 mph, nearly striking a Sherburne County squad car head-on before the fatal crash.

When Rothmeyer came upon the intersection of 82nd Street and 125th Ave. SE, police say he went through a stop sign and was hit broadside by a truck pulling a car hauler. Foley was a passenger in that truck and was ejected. He later died at the hospital. Two other people in that truck were also hurt, suffering from lacerated spleens, rib fractures, and fractured vertebrae.
