Waite Park Police were sent to a business on a suspected shoplifter call just after midnight.
The business had the suspect’s license plate number.
A short time later, that vehicle was spotted and a traffic stop was attempted at the intersection of 28th Avenue South and 7Th Street South in Waite Park.
The vehicle drove away, entered Highway 23, and eventually entered I-94 with speeds reaching 110 miles per hour.
Spike Strips were used near the County Road 75 exit, but were unsuccessful, and the vehicle continued driving east on I-94.
More spike strips were used near the Clearwater exit. The vehicle avoided the strips but side-swiped a Waite Park police car, lost control, and crashed.
Waite Park Police, assisted by the Minnesota State Patrol and the Cold Spring/Richmond Police Department performed a felony stop and removed all occupants from the vehicle.
