Information was released today (Monday) about a high-speed pursuit that spanned two southwest Iowa counties before the suspect vehicle crashed off a dead-end road. According to reports, an Iowa State Patrol Trooper tried to stop a car for speeding on the Stuart Road in northeastern Adair County, at around 8:45-p.m., October 25th.

As the Trooper tried to catch up to the vehicle, the driver, identified as 20-year old Nathan Paul Butler, of Des Moines, sped-up to 100-mph in a 55 zone. The chase continued from Adair County into Union County and into the Creston city limits before Butler crashed the vehicle.

He fled on foot but was quickly apprehended. Butler was subsequently booked into the Adair County Jail, where his bond was set at $2,000.
