Deputies in Pottawattamie County were led on a high-speed chase early this morning that ended sometime after 2-a.m., just north of Interstate 80, in Harrison County. Details are sketchy at this time, but scanner traffic indicated the vehicle being pursued on L-34 in northwestern Pott. County reached speeds of just over 100-miles per hour before the right front tire blew out. It’s believed the car may have run over stop-sticks laid down by a deputy.

The suspect and the vehicle continued north into Harrison County before he ditched the vehicle and took-off on foot at around 2:19-a.m.. Multiple law enforcement agencies including K9 units attempted to locate the individual, a man with no shirt and blue jeans, but as of 3:30-a.m., the subject had not been located.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidates are descending on Iowa for the first face-off of their 2016 primary, even as their contest remains dominated by the political influence of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
