Jamestown (CSi) The Stutsman County State’s Attorney’s Office has issued a news release regarding the incident in Jamestown early Tuesday morning, involving a Tracy, Minnesota man who eluded law enforcement and was taken into custody.

One count of Reckless Endangerment, a Class C Felony
One count of Criminal Mischief a Class C Felony
One count fo DUI, a Class C Felony
And, Fleeing or attempting to elude, a Class A misdeameanor
Bail has been recommended, and Fremgen anticipates Ellingson’s initial court appearance and bail hearing to be held on Thursday, in Southeast District court.
Fremgen says, considering the nature of the allegations and the defendent’s ties to the community, he plans to request a cash bond sufficient to ensure the defendant’s appearance at all court proceedings.
A preliminary hearing date has not been scheduled.
Authorities say Ellingson warly Tuesday morning fled from an officer who responded to a report of a drunk person at a the EXXON convenience store on Highway 281 South, and rammed two law enforcement vehicles during the ensuing chase.
Ellingson was treated for his injuries at Jamestown Regional medical Center, and then life-flighted to a Fargo hospital, where he underwent surgery for his injuries.

Jamestown (CSi) A record number of participants ran or walked in the 2015 Runnin’ O’ The Green in Jamestown on March 14.
On Thursday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, organizer, Larry Knoblich said this year 2,700 registered runners participated, breaking the previous record of 2,300 in 2012 when the temperature was also unseasonably warm, which Knoblich says brings out more participants.
He added that the goal of $30,000 to raise was met, and exceeded, as other donations came from the community along the run route, plus donations from volunteer drivers, and Megan at Wildside Creations in Jamestown gave over and above the dollars collected for t-shirt sales of $800, giving $1,500.
Bar tenders also gave donations from collection jars.
Knoblch added that additional donations are still coming in by mail.
The donations are divided this year with $20,000 going to the Elks Camp Grassick, and $10,000 to be divided among 20-cancer patients.
In 2014 there were 2,100 registered particpants with $12,000 going to Camp Grassick, and $10,000 going to cancer patients.
He pointed out in 2014 the temperature was much colder, which likely held down the number of participants.
Knoblich noted that Jamestown Police officers in uniform along the run route helped in keeping the participants under better control.
Earlier this week Knoblich met in a post-runnin’ meeting with Jamestown Police and Jamestown city officials, along with bar owners to discuss how this year’s run went, and gave suggestions for next year’s run.
He pointed out that in 2016 The Runnin’ O’ The Green will be held on Saturday March 19.

Wednesday’s estimates assumed an increase since a January forecast of $131 million to the state’s general fund, which is financed mostly by taxes on sales, income, corporations, tobacco and gambling.
The figures still must be accepted by the House and Senate appropriations committees, which will use the data to finish their work for the next two-year budget for state government.
Lawmakers have idled major spending bills this session until the new economic assumptions are adopted.
