A suspect involved in a multi-jurisdictional pursuit from Nebraska into Iowa, was being sought Saturday night, in Redfield. According to scanner traffic, the pursuit of a red Chevy Camaro with dark tinted windows, no front license plate and a rear plate from Colorado, began in Nebraska. The car reached speeds of up to 150 miles per hour for an extended period of time.

The chase entered Iowa on Interstate 80 eastbound, and despite several attempts to disable the vehicle with stop-sticks, the suspect and his passenger managed to make it to Stuart, where they stopped for fuel and got back onto the interstate eastbound. The car exited near the Redfield exit and was found near the Casey’s Store. Drugs were reportedly found on the passenger seat.

A black female passenger from Illinois was taken into custody. The black male driver with a white t-shirt and sweatpants was still on foot in Redfield as of 9:25-p.m.  Authorities were searching the area. No new information was available from law enforcement this (Sunday) morning.
