A vehicle chase that began between Erhard and Elizabeth on May 6 ended with an arrest south of Rothsay close to 3:30 p.m.
Earlier, sheriff deputies attempted to stop a vehicle that was reported as stolen from a location in Pelican Rapids. The pursuit was terminated between Erhard and Elizabeth, due to public safety when the suspect accelerated.
A short while later there was a second pursuit and the suspect abandoned the vehicle at a farm site south of Rothsay. The suspect then fled on foot but was apprehended in a wooded area.
Arrested was Luan Huynh, 29, of Fargo. He was charged with motor vehicle theft, fleeing a police officer, having a controlled substance in his possession and reckless driving. Huynh was taken to the county jail in Fergus Falls.
The stolen vehicle was not damaged and was later returned to its rightful owner.
