MINOT, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Three men are facing charges after their fleeing vehicle smashed into several police cars and nearly hit a deputy during a chase Saturday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ward County Sheriff’s department says the chase started in McLean County around 7:40 a.m. Saturday before continuing on U.S. Highway 83 into Ward County and ending in Minot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At one point during the chase, the fleeing vehicle aimed directly for a Ward County sheriff’s deputy who was trying to set out a device to deflate the fleeing vehicle’s tires. The deputy jumped out of the way and then fired two shots at the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, the fleeing vehicle struck three different law enforcement vehicles as it continued through the streets of Minot. The chase finally ended when the fleeing vehicle and a McLean County vehicle became disabled, and another deputy fired at the vehicle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At that point, officers arrested the 18-year-old man who was driving, and two of the three passengers fled on foot before they were apprehended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver is facing nearly a dozen charges, including attempted murder, reckless driving and possession of a stolen vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two men who fled, who are 32- and 20-years-old, are both charged with refusing to stop and marijuana possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A juvenile girl who was also in the vehicle hasn’t been charged. Authorities discovered after the chase that she had a gunshot wound on her foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation will review the deputies’ use of force during the chase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
