PRIOR LAKE, Minn. — A man is in custody at the Scott County jail after leading law enforcement on an hours-long chase and standoff.
Prior Lake police responded to a domestic assault involving a weapon at roughly 1:15 p.m. on the 17000 block of Adelmann St. SE on Sunday, May 7, according to a release.
The suspect fled on foot and the officers lost sight of him.
A short time later, the man, identified as being from New Brighton in charging documents on May 9, was located by Scott County Sheriff's deputies and crashed a vehicle near the intersection of 175th St E. and Murphy Lake Boulevard.
The 32-year-old fled once again on foot, this time into a wooded area near the Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve.
