There was a police chase last night in Morton County after one of their
own squad cars...
A Morton County Sheriffs Deputy arrested a 23 year old woman for huffing last
night.
He found her south of Mandan on the walking path that goes under Highway 1806.
He handcuffed her and put her in the squad car then went to get the evidence...
(Dave Shipman) "as he was processing the evidence, he heard his engine rev up
and his car drive away." How did that happen? She was a tiny woman and I believe
she slid out of the handcuffs and went through the gate, window into the front
seat inside the vehicle."
The squad car was found near Cannonball.
BIA authorities arrested the woman at a bar.
Shipman says he's not sure what all happened in that 45 mile stretch between
Fort Lincoln State Park and Cannonball but he has his suspicions...
Barbed wire found on the top by lights leaking fluid. I think she went through a
fence or a ditch."
The woman is in custody in Fort Yates she has not yet been charged.
Shipman says he's working with the FBI to get her transferred to Morton County.
She faces DUI and Theft of a Vehicle charges.
