ODEBOLT, Iowa (KTIV) – One person was arrested after a pursuit in Northwest Iowa late last week, ended in a crash. The Sac County Sheriff’s Office says 39-year-old Ryan Miller is charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, eluding, reckless driving and operating while under the influence.

Miller’s charges stem from a pursuit that started at around 11-p.m. Thursday, April 18 in Sac County, after deputies responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle parked in an area just northeast of Odebolt. The sheriff’s office says this vehicle had been previously seen in front of residences in Odebolt.

When Sac County Deputies arrived, they saw a vehicle leaving the area and heading south towards Highway 175. The sheriff’s office says the vehicle increased speed and eventually went into Odebolt. Once in the town, the vehicle was seen driving at a high rate of speed and doing evasive driving patterns.

A pursuit began in Odebolt and continued for about five minutes through alleys and front yards.

The pursuit ended after the fleeing vehicle collided with a tree in Odebolt. The driver, later identified as Miller, fled the crash on foot. Sac County Deputies and a K9 continued to pursue Miller, who was later taken into custody.
