Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 A man previously involved in a pursuit from law enforcement in Southwest Stutsman County was found dead on Friday, April 29th after being reported missing.<\/p>\n
36 year-old Jesse Leppert was found in the area of the original pursuit according to the Stutsman County Sheriff\u2019s Office. Leppert was involved in a pursuit on April 24th in Stutsman County prior to being reported missing. The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation is now investigating the cause of death.<\/p>\n
Leppert reportedly did not have a permanent address, but was known to stay with people in the Jamestown area. Officers attempted to stop him on April 24th in Eldridge for a traffic violation when he led them on a pursuit that ended in a farmyard southwest of the town. He fled on foot into trees and the field surrounding the farm. Officers could not locate him and he was not found after the pursuit.<\/p>\n
The female passenger later reported him missing on April 29th and a subsequent search was conducted by the Sheriff\u2019s Office. His body was found near the pursuit area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
