Sheriff: Driver of stolen vehicle flees traffic stop in St. Paul, hits State Patrol car in Minneapolis
The driver of a stolen car fled a traffic stop Friday night in St. Paul before crashing into a Minnesota State Patrol car in Minneapolis, according to the Ramsey County sheriff’s office.
A Ramsey County sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop the stolen Hyundai sedan at about 10:30 p.m. in the Highland Park neighborhood of St. Paul. The driver fled and crossed the Ford Parkway Bridge into Minneapolis before the deputy lost sight of the vehicle and ended the pursuit, according to the sheriff’s office.
The suspect was then observed driving recklessly and ran a stop sign at West 46th Street and Aldrich Avenue South at 80 mph. The vehicle collided with a State Patrol squad car, causing significant injuries to the trooper and passengers in the stolen vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
The 19-year-old suspect was quickly arrested after attempting to flee on foot. The driver has two prior arrests for fleeing police and is being held at the Ramsey County jail, according to the sheriff’s office.
Police say the same vehicle was involved in a pursuit Thursday night in the west metro, during which it reportedly swerved at emergency vehicles but did not hit them.

Overnight shooting outside Minneapolis recording studio leaves teen injured, 3 men hurt
Minneapolis police are investigating a shooting that injured a 17-year-old boy and three men overnight on Monday.
Law enforcement was called to the 1300 block of Water Street around 2:35 a.m. on a report of a shooting. Officers found a 17-year-old boy with an apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wound; he was brought to Children’s Hospital for treatment, Minneapolis police said.
About 20 minutes later, three men, whose ages were not specified, showed up at the hospital with apparent non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, police confirmed.
Law enforcement says the four men were leaving a building when gunfire broke out. During a live broadcast on Monday, Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher confirmed the men were walking out of a recording studio.
No arrests have been made at this time.
In his farewell column, Souhan credited a long list of Star Tribune colleagues and editors, including Patrick Reusse, Rachel Blount, Julie Engebrecht and Curt Brown, for shaping his career.
He described the decision to leave as “for reasons more personal than professional.” Souhan wants to be closer to his family, including his first grandson, and to support his wife’s career in education.
