WATERTOWN, S.D. (KWAT) Codington County deputies arrested three women Sunday morning following a vehicle pursuit on Interstate 29.
Sheriff Brad Howell says just after 10 a.m., a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle in the southeast portion of the county near the Clear Lake exit. The vehicle was registered to a Sioux Falls man wanted on a parole violation.
The driver of the car fled northbound.
Spike strips were placed across the highway and the car eventually became disabled and was stopped in the median of the Interstate near Watertown.
Watertown, SD Â On December 26, 2020 at approximately 10:40 pm, Codington County Deputies observed a black Cadillac Escalade traveling westbound on 164th Street near 450th Avenue. The Escalade failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection before turning northbound on 450th avenue. During the turn, the vehicle swerved into the on-coming traffic lane and nearly went into the west ditch. When the deputy activated their emergency lights and siren, the vehicle slowed down and sped up multiple times before accelerating at a high rate of speed.
Deputies initiated a pursuit and contacted neighboring counties for mutual aid. The pursuit conditions varied from gravel roads, to paved roads. At one point, the Escalade lost control and left the roadway, entering a plowed corn field. The Escalade eventually merged back onto the roadway and continued to flee.
