One deputy is recovering and two others are on leave after a chase, and an officer-involved shooting in Washburn County.
It started Sunday with a traffic stop. That’s when deputies say the suspect sped away, drove to a campground, and tried to hide. He got away because a deputy’s car reportedly malfunctioned and hit some trees. That deputy had to be cut-out of the car and taken to the hospital. On Monday deputies were back searching for the suspect when they saw him. That’s when the sheriff says the suspect drove at deputies, who then shot-out his tires. The man was arrested a short time later. The two deputies who fired at the car are on leave, as is protocol in officer-involved shootings.
