Suspect Radios Dispatchers From Stolen PD Car

A man involved in a domestic dispute fled from Mower County (Minn.) police on a bicycle first, but then circled back and stole a Austin PD police K9 unit called to assist in the search. During the 120 mph pursuit of the patrol car by deputies, suspect Jeremy Winkel radioed dispatchers, asking what would happen to the suspect–himself–when deputies arrested him. Dispatchers tried to convince him to pull over, but he crossed into Iowa and evaded spike strips laid out by the Iowa State Patrol. He then radioed dispatchers again, trying to arrange a surrender at the Northwood (Iowa) fire station. He finally pulled in front of the fire station, 38 miles from where the chase began. Deputies say Winkel struck and killed a dog during the pursuit, but otherwise avoided any accidents.
