At approximately 3:30 p.m., Duluth Police officers received a report of a stolen vehicle on West Central Entrance. The vehicle was located and a traffic stop was attempted by officers. The vehicle fled and officers disengaged.

A short time later, officers observed the vehicle numerous times, as it remained in the downtown area. No attempts were made to stop the vehicle. At some point, a St Louis County Deputy deployed spike strips, deflating tires.

Eventually, a St. Louis County squad attempted to do a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver on the vehicle, which was unsuccessful.

Shortly after this attempt, the vehicle crashed and hit two vehicles. The driver fled on foot, and was apprehended. The driver of one of the vehicles that was hit received minor injuries.

The investigation is still active and ongoing.

Duluth’s budget debate is missing millions

Duluth residents should not accept a budget narrative built only around the bad news. Transparency requires more than explaining the size of the shortfall. It requires identifying every option, every revenue decision and every pool of existing or reasonably anticipated financial capacity.

Howie: Duluth Schools’ referendum will rise or fall on trust

Financial need alone will not carry two operating referendum questions across the finish line Nov. 3. The district must confront a trust issue that has accumulated over two decades and explain why voters should believe the next 10-year, $103 million plan be better than the plans that preceded it.

Hawks enter fall with contenders, questions and unfinished business

That is the broad Hermantown picture entering training camp starting Aug. 17. Football and girls cross-country should expect to contend for section championships. Boys soccer and volleyball return enough proven talent to make deep playoff runs realistic.
