MUSCATINE CO., Iowa (KWQC) – A Minnesota man charged in a double murder was arrested in Muscatine County after a three-county chase on Sunday. Randy Zimmerman, 45, of rural Courtland, Minnesota, was arrested on suspected double murder after authorities stopped him in southeastern Iowa, said authorities in Brown County, Minnesota. He is accused of shooting 50-year-old Justin Reinarts and 32-year-old Tabitha Trescott in Hanska, Minnesota.

He was charged with second-degree murder on Monday. Only a grand jury can indict someone with first-degree murder in Minnesota. Louisa County Sheriff Brandon Marquardt said Zimmerman was seen in Washington County and deputies followed him into Louisa County.

Deputies chased Zimmerman into Muscatine County, Marquardt said, where a Louisa County deputy rammed into him. He then ran through a field, where he was taken into custody. He said Zimmerman fired at a Louisa County deputy and missed, so no one was injured. Zimmerman is in the Louisa County Jail, but Marquardt said Minnesota authorities were coming to speak with him and try to get more information.
