Officer Kelsey is asking for your help…you may be the victim of a crime, or know someone who is.

Yesterday at approximately 4pm officers located a stolen red 1995 Ford Explorer being driven by a male suspect and, during the suspect’s attempts to elude officers, several motorists nearly crashed with the Explorer.

Officer Kelsey is attempting to identify the occupants of a newer black minivan who may be victims of criminal endangerment. The minivan narrowly missed a crash at the intersection of 6th Street and 1st Avenue South. The minivan was traveling west on 1st Avenue South when the suspect just missed colliding with it while traveling north on 6th Street South.

If you are the occupants of the minivan, if you believe you were almost hit, or if you were witness to any of these incidents, please send us a message here or call 727-7688 X5 and leave a message for Officer Kelsey.

We are hoping you can help hold the suspect accountable for the crimes he may have committed, any help you proivide is greatly appreciated.
