The North Dakota Highway Patrol apprehended Arsenio James following a high-speed chase and use of a pursuit intervention technique (PIT). The pursuit began at 12:19 p.m. Saturday, approximately 11 miles east of Rugby, when a HP trooper attempted to stop a stolen vehicle. The driver fled eastbound on U.S. Highway 2 for about 47 miles.
The vehicle was successfully spiked using tire deflation devices twice, but James continued to flee until his vehicle entered a south ditch as a result of the PIT maneuver. James was taken into custody and transported to the Lake Region Correction Center in Rugby. Charges were still pending as of Monday morning.
No age or address was given for James in the initial HP report.
