    Eden Prairie police chase ends in Minneapolis crash, arrest

    A 33-year-old Montrose man was arrested Friday night after a brief vehicle chase that began in Eden Prairie and ended in south Minneapolis.

    According to the Eden Prairie Police Department, the pursuit began at about 9:15 p.m. April 4, when officers attempted to stop a black 2014 Buick Regal with stolen license plates near Eden Prairie Center. The vehicle fled onto Flying Cloud Drive, entered Interstate 494 into Bloomington, and continued north on Interstate 35W.

    A Minnesota State Patrol helicopter located the car and tracked it as Eden Prairie officers discontinued the ground pursuit. The vehicle exited onto 31st Avenue in Minneapolis and struck a Dodge Dart at 2nd Avenue and Lake Street, police said.

    The driver fled on foot but was apprehended nearby by Eden Prairie officers. Police later determined the Regal was stolen and that the man had several outstanding warrants.

    The two occupants of the Dodge Dart sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene.

    The man was expected to face multiple charges, police said, including fleeing police in a motor vehicle and possession of stolen property. He was formally charged on Monday, April 7, with fleeing a peace officer and motor vehicle theft.

    Eden Prairie Local News is withholding the suspect’s name until formal charges are filed.
