MOORHEAD, MN (KFGO) – An Ogema, Minnesota man is currently Cass County after being arrested for a DWI Sunday.
Around 3:15 pm, Moorhead Officers responded to a report of an impaired driver in the area of 40th Avenue and 8th Street South. As officers attempted to approach 28 year old Derek Berg in the Azool Hornbacher’s parking lot, he fled in his vehicle which was not pursued.
A short time later, additional calls of a reckless driver involving a vehicle fitting the description of Berg’s were received, including the suspect causing damage to a fence in the 2100 block of 40th Avenue South, near the Moorhead Parks Soccer Complex.
Officers later located the vehicle near 8th Street and 30th Avenue South. When officers attempted to stop the vehicle, Berg fled westbound onto I-94 toward Fargo. The vehicle had sustained previous tire damage causing it to enter the North ditch of I-94 between the Red River Bridge and University Drive in Fargo.
Berg was taken into custody by the North Dakota Highway Patrol. A long-form complaint will be requested from the Clay County Attorney’s Office for the offenses of Fleeing a Police Officer in a motor vehicle, criminal damage to property, and reckless driving.
The Moorhead Police Department was assisted by the Clay County Sheriff’s Office and the North Dakota Highway Patrol.
