SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The capture of a robbery suspect and the search for driver who is busting up police cars are the two big stories for Friday’s police briefing.
SUSPECT RESPONSIBLE FOR TWO PATROL CAR CRASHES
Sioux Falls Police are searching for a man who has had a hand in damaging two police cars.
Early Thursday morning, an officer stopped a man for impaired driving.
Police say the man deliberately backed into the squad car parked behind him and then took off at a high rate of speed.
Later yesterday, the Minnehaha County Fugitive Task Force spotted the car.
A chase ensued.
While eluding police at 12th and Cleveland, the suspect swerved, and a police car ran into a stopped car because of the chase.
No one was seriously hurt.
The suspect is still at large.
BICYCLE-BUILT-FOR-TWO THIEF NABBED
A Sioux Falls man is in jail on robbery and aggravated assault charges after stealing a bicycle built for two from some kids last week.
Samir Jouda Albaidhani , 51, was arrested without incident Thursday after coming out of a house in the 100 block of South Lake Avenue.
After taking the tandem bike from the youngsters, the bike’s owner confronted Albaidani.
Albaidani attacked the bike owner with a hatchet, slightly injuring the victim’s hand.
The suspect is in jail on a $50,000 cash-only bond.
