The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office has released additional details about a pursuit that began early Sunday morning. Chief Deputy Sheriff Rob Ambrose told KJAN News a deputy was dispatched at around 12:26-a.m. to a location in Avoca, with regard to a hit-and-run accident.

(He said upon arrival they made contact with Kelli Plagmann, who told deputies her husband, David, was responsible for hitting her 2016 Nissan Maxima. The couple is in the process of going through a divorce.)

David Plagmann, who is 31 and from Harlan, left the area in his 2012 Chevy Silverado pickup, but was pulled over a short time later in Avoca, near Highway 59 and I-80.

(He said after a brief talk with deputies, David Plagmann took off and was engaged in a pursuit.)

The vehicle traveled onto York Road and into a field and through a barbed-wire fence, before circling around and returning to York Road and back to Highway 59, where he turned north and entered Shelby County.

(A Shelby County Deputy deployed stop sticks, causing the driver’s left front tire to deflate. The vehicle continued on into Crawford and Carroll Counties on Highway 141, before ending near Bagley, in Guthrie County.)

The chase ended at around 1:50-a.m. Before it over, the left front tire on the pickup shredded and by the time the chase ended, the vehicle’s fenderwell was almost on the ground, because the wheel and brake system had been destroyed.

Speeds during the chase reached nearly 110-mph. During the pursuit, a Shelby County Sheriff’s vehicle ran over a set of stop-sticks, causing the vehicle to become temporarily disabled.

David Robert Plagman was transported to the Pott. County Jail, where he was charged with Eluding while exceeding the speed limit by 25-miles per hour or more, and Hit and Run – Vehicle damage only. The Sheriff’s report said alcohol was believed to have been a contributing factor in the incident.

No injuries were reported. Among the agencies that participated in the effort to pickup, was: The Pottawattamie, Shelby, Guthrie, Crawford and Carroll County Sheriff’s Departments, the Iowa State Patrol, Harlan and Panora Police, and others.
