MOORHEAD (KFGO) – A driver is in custody after leading authorities on a pursuit on I-94 east of Barnesville Wed. morning.
Clay County Sheriff Mark Empting said a deputy was attempting to pull the driver over for speeding shortly before 11 a.m. The driver refused to stop and continued eastbound on I-94 before exiting onto Highway 108 in Wilkin County. He turned around and headed back west on I-94.
Officers deployed stop sticks and flattened all four tires in an attempt to slow the vehicle. Empting said the driver, 41-year-old Jess Miller with no permanent, was traveling at 70 to 75 mph when he lost control and drove into cable barriers on I-94 two miles from the Moorhead city limits.
Miller was arrested without incident and booked into the Clay County Jail facing several charges. The sheriff’s office was assisted by Moorhead and Glyndon Police and the state patrol.
