The driver of the fleeing vehicle was identified as 40 year old Chad Lee Kapp (<see photo) of Jamestown. Kapp was arrested on suspicion of the following charges: fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer; hindering law enforcement, and reckless endangerment.
Additional Law Enforcement Officers were immediately called to the scene of the incident and a perimeter was set up, to try and locate the fleeing passenger. The North Dakota Highway Patrol dispatched their agency plane to help provide aerial surveillance of the area. The land owner was notified and voluntarily provided additional assistance to Law Enforcement by allowing Law Enforcement to use Crop Sprayers to drive through his corn field, to provide an elevated platform to search for the suspect and to limit any damage to the crop.

(see photo above) Guthmiller has not been located and is still wanted by police for the active felony arrest warrants. If anyone has information of his whereabouts, please contact the Jamestown Police Department / Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office at 701-252-1000.
