Two Arrested After Stearns County Chase

(Learfield News/St. Cloud, MN) — Two people are in jail after a high-speed chase through Stearns County early Tuesday.

Deputies say a stolen Jeep Wrangler from Fargo was spotted near St. Joseph and sped away when officers tried to stop it.

The chase went through several towns before spike strips forced the driver off the road near St. Rosa.

Both suspects fled into a swamp but surrendered after police dogs and a perimeter were deployed.

The driver, 32-year-old Melissa Torres of Moorhead, and the passenger, 21-year-old Jackson Mulder of Valley City, North Dakota, both had active warrants.
