(McClean County, ND) -- The McClean County Sheriff's Office used their new "Grappler" system to help end a car chase yesterday morning.
Authorities say the chase began when a driver took off down Highway 83 from an attempted traffic stop. A deputy launched the Grappler and snagged the back tire of the suspect's vehicle, but both the deputy and suspect spun out and crashed into a ditch. The deputy's cruiser flipped in the wreck, and he suffered minor injuries.
Colton Lauer was arrested after a brief foot chase.
