Police: Fugitive Led Officers On Chase Through Twin Cities
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Authorities say that a fugitive who was wanted in connection with a number of criminal cases led police on a chase in the Twin Cities Thursday afternoon.
According to Deputy Thomas Volk of the U.S. Marshal Service, Kaley Wethern was wanted in connection with a home invasion in Mille Lacs County. She also had a warrant out for her arrest in Ramsey County and a pending drug case in Hennepin County.
Volk said that officers received information that Wethern was possibly located in Prior Lake. Not long after, a marshal tried to pull her over, and she fled the scene, according to Volk.
Officers said that there was another person in the vehicle with Wethern as she engaged in the high-speed pursuit.
She abandoned her vehicle at 35th Street and 1st Avenue South in Minneapolis, police said, and was apprehended later on along Lyndale Avenue in Richfield. Officers found an empty holster and ammunition in the vehicle.
As of yet, police say they haven't located the other person they believe was in the vehicle with her.
She was booked at the Ramsey County Jail on Thursday evening.
