(Spencer)—A man wanted in connection with a trespassing complaint led authorities on a pursuit yesterday (Tues.) that went through southern Clay county.
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy responded to a criminal trespass complaint at 4730 240th Avenue around 1:45 p.m. The complaint alleges that the suspect, 45-year-old Christopher Wood of Webb, attempted to enter a residence at that address. The complainant reported that Wood then left the residence but was still in the area. Deputies located Wood a short while later in downtown Webb. Authorities say Wood ran to his vehicle as the deputy approached him. He then took off at a high rate of speed.
Additional deputies and the Iowa State Patrol responded and Wood was apprehended a short time later in the 2300 mile of Clay County Road B-53.
Wood was arrested on four counts of felony eluding, two counts of reckless driving, two counts of careless driving, two stop sign violations, four counts of interference with official acts, one citation for speed, and one count of criminal trespass.
Wood was released after posting a $5,000 bond.
Authorities say the pursuit is still under investigation and that additional charges are pending.
