(CASS COUNTY, ND) – The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 23-year-old woman has been arrested on multiple charges following a pursuit in Cass County.
It began in Barnes County, when dispatch reported a reckless driver call involving a Nissan passenger vehicle eastbound on I-94. The vehicle as reported to have been swerving all over the road, brake checking other drivers.
The Highway Patrol located the Nissan on I-94 near mile marker 320. Troopers attempted a traffic stop, and the driver fled eastbound.
