Driver flees authorities

Published Friday, October 17, 2008

The Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Department is looking for a man who fled on foot after authorities tried to pull him over early Friday.

At about 2 a.m., the sheriff’s office received a report of a gray GMC Yukon traveling at high speeds in Dalton. Deputies located the vehicle around on Veitenheimer Road at about 3:45 a.m. and pursued it. The driver parked his vehicle in a field and fled on foot. The Fergus Falls Police Department’s K-9 unit assisted in the search, but the scent was lost and the driver was not apprehended.

The Daily Journal is happy to host community conversations about news and life in Fergus Falls and the surrounding area. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary. It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.

Good thing the guy wasn't streaking.....no cost would have been spared in busting him.

The driver parked his vehicle in a field and fled on foot, while the sheriff's deputies stood there and called the FF k9 unit. deputies can't run anymore?

Um, I think they have the person's Yukon. That should be a pretty big clue as to who was driving and fled the scene.

Couldn't they release the name of the person who registered the vehicle and / or a description?
