(Spencer)– Multiple charges have been filed against a man following a high speed pursuit early this (Mon.) morning that went through portions of Clay, Dickinson and Emmet counties.
Spencer police say it started a little before 12:30 am when an officer tried to stop a Chevrolet Malibu in the 100 block of East 1st Street in Spencer for a registration violation. The vehicle failed to stop, resulting in a pursuit. The vehicle continued to elude authorities on a pursuit at speeds exceeding 80 mph through Clay, Dickinson and Emmet counties before two successful stop-stick deployments eventually ended it at the intersection of 360th Avenue and 180th Street in Emmet county.
The driver, 40-year-old Michael Menard Jr. of Spencer, was arrested and charged with driving while barred, driving while under suspension, two Lyon county warrants with a $10,000 bond, a Palo Alto county warrant with a $1,000 bond and numerous traffic violations. Menard is being held in the Clay county jail on an $8,000 bond.
Spencer police were assisted by the Clay, Dickinson and Emmet County Sheriff’s Offices.
