Quintin Hudson sentenced on two charges from 2023 crash

Quintin Leon Hudson, 21, was sentenced to 165 months after pleading guilty in October to one count of fleeing a peace officer resulting in death and one count of fleeing a peace officer resulting in great bodily harm.

Mr. Hudson was charged after causing the death of Emily Gerding and severe injury to her husband, John Gerding, while fleeing from a traffic stop in July 2023.

“My thoughts are with Emily’s family, especially her husband, John, and their children,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “John and Emily worked as special education teachers. They made a difference in the lives of so many members of our community. While the impact of this tragedy is most acutely felt by Emily’s family, our community now suffers as well. Mr. Hudson’s reckless actions took one life and affected many more. This sentence holds him accountable and will protect our community.”

Case Number: 27-CR-23-14518
