The Walsh County Sheriff’s Office located the vehicle a short time later on Highway 81 south of Grafton, where the chase resumed. The vehicle was eventually stopped east of Grafton.
39-year-old Andrew Nord was arrested and faces multiple charges, including DUI, fleeing and reckless endangerment. He was taken to the Walsh County Jail in Grafton.
