BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Officers arrested a man after using "chemical agents" following a police pursuit Thursday that started in Bloomington.
The Bloomington Police Department said the pursuit began at around 1:50 p.m. after a vehicle reportedly crashed into two parked vehicles and drove off. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it failed to pull over and a pursuit ensued. Authorities say the pursuit was eventually terminated near 98th Street and Interstate 35W.
According to Bloomington Police, the vehicle was reportedly on I-494 exiting on Penn Avenue and had been attempting to run other vehicles off the road. Officers once again tried to stop the vehicle, but it continued to flee. The pursuit returned to I-35W back into Bloomington when officials used a PIT maneuver and stop sticks to eventually disable the vehicle.
However, police say the driver refused to exit the car and they deployed "chemical agents" into the vehicle. The man eventually got out of the vehicle and officers took him into custody.
