MN officers chase burglary suspect to WI and back
by The Associated Press
 
MINNEAPOLIS -- Authorities are looking for a man who led officers on a chase from Burnsville, to Wisconsin, to Minneapolis.

Burnsville police detectives tried to arrest the 27-year-old man on suspicion of burglary. But the man fled and led Burnsville police north on Interstate 35E. The Minnesota State Patrol joined the chase, following the man to Wisconsin before he drove back to Minnesota and abandoned a stolen Dodge Durango near the University of Minnesota.

Authorities tried to end the chase peacefully, and called the man on his cell phone. Burnsville investigators say the man answered the phone saying, ``Dude, I can't talk, I'm being chased by the police.''
