Authorities in Dallas County hope that a perimeter they established Saturday night in Redfield, will catch the driver of a car that eluded several law enforcement agencies. The man was involved in two-state, multi-jurisdictional pursuit that began in eastern Nebraska and transitioned into Iowa on Interstate 80. The Hertz rental car, a red Chevy Camaro with dark tinted windows, no front license plate and a rear plate from Colorado, reached speeds of up to 150 miles per hour for an extended period of time.

The car, driven by a black male with a white t-shirt and sweatpants, managed to evade law enforcement and stop in Stuart to fuel his vehicle. Two miles east of the Dexter exit, the car hit spike strips law enforcement laid out across the interstate. The car, with two tires losing air, made it to Redfield, where it was abandoned. A female passenger, 23-year old Brandy R. Pace, of Chicago, was apprehended at the Casey’s Store in Redfield. Inside the car, authorities found drugs and paraphernalia on the passenger seat.

Pace was charged with first-offense possession of a controlled substance-marijuana and is being held in the Pottawattamie County Jail on a $1,000 bond. The unidentified male suspect fled the car on foot and was the subject of an intense police search through late this (Sunday) morning. Even though authorities don’t know if he has a weapon, because of his previous (alleged) actions, he is being considered dangerous.
