The Glenwood Police Department is searching for a juvenile following a foot pursuit on Tuesday. At approximately 8 minutes past midnight a Glenwood Police Officer stopped a vehicle at the intersection of 9th and Vine Streets in Glenwood for an equipment violation.

Two juveniles were in the vehicle and the driver gave the officer a false name and birthdate. The officer was unable to find driver’s license information for the driver and because of recent vandalism in the area requested and was granted a consent to search the vehicle. During the search a jar of marijuana was discovered. The two juveniles attempted to flee on foot and a pursuit ensued. During the pursuit an officer was assaulted by one of the juveniles and he was able to escape.

A perimeter was established and Glenwood PD was assisted by the Mills, Pottawattamie, and Fremont County Sheriff’s Offices. The juvenile remains at large at this time.
