ADA, Minn. (Valley News Live) – A man has been arrested after leading Norman County Sheriff’s Deputies on a pursuit.
On Friday, October 24th around 11:50 A.M., the sheriff’s office received a report of suspicious activity in Gary, Minnesota. It was reported an adult male was last seen traveling west from the Gary General Store in a newer, black Chevy Blazer.
An hour later, while investigating the suspicious activity, a deputy located a vehicle matching the description near Heiberg, which is just north of Twin Valley.
During a traffic stop of the vehicle at the intersection of State Highway 32 and 370th Street, the driver, 49-year-old Damon Roy Anderson, allegedly gave the deputy a license belonging to someone else. As the deputy continued to investigate, Anderson fled the traffic stop and led deputies on a pursuit throughout Norman County and into Clay County. The pursuit ended south of Hitterdal after a deployment of stop-sticks.
Anderson was taken into custody by the Norman County Sheriff’s Office and transported to the Northwest Regional Corrections Center in Crookston.
Anderson had felony warrants from 10 different counties across Minnesota. He also faces additional charges in Norman County for Felony Possession of a Controlled Substance, Fleeing a Peace Officer in a motor vehicle, and Felon in Possession of Firearm.
The White Earth Police Department, Clay County Sheriff’s Office, Ada Police Department, and Minnesota State Patrol all assisted in this case.
