Local Law Enforcement Agencies Involved in Multiple Pursuits

(KWNO)-Several local law enforcement agencies were involved in multiple chases this week.

The Winona County Sheriff’s Office assisted St. Charles Police with a pursuit late Tuesday. Authorities say a Winona man sped away from an attempted traffic stop by a St. Charles Officer and led authorities on a pursuit along eastbound Interstate 90.

The Winona County Sheriff’s Office says the suspect was slowed by stop sticks, took off on foot, and was apprehended and booked into the Winona County jail.

The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Department was involved in two pursuits. The first happened Wednesday afternoon in Alma and ended north of Cochrane with an arrest thanks to stopping sticks deployed by deputies.

The second happened around 4 A.M. Wednesday when a pursuit initiated by the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office tore through Buffalo County. That chase continued eastward out of Buffalo County and ended with an arrest in Clark County.

The Buffalo County Sheriff’s Department worked with the Alma and Mondovi Police Departments and the sheriff’s offices of Trempealeau, Pepin, and Pierce Counties. Law enforcement from Wabasha also assisted.
