MOORHEAD - A 25-mile police pursuit with speeds exceeding 100 mph ended here near the First Presbyterian Church on Wednesday night, Sept. 20, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
The pursuit started about 7:30 p.m. in Barnesville, Minn., after troopers on Interstate 94 tried to pull over a driver with a drug-related warrant for his arrest, the patrol said.
