The Rock County Sheriff’s Office assisted Iowa authorities Sunday with a pursuit that ended with the arrest of two individuals.
At 10 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 10, the Rock County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the Lyon County Iowa Sheriff’s Office requesting assistance with a vehicle pursuit that was entering Rock County south of Hills.
Lyon County deputies were pursuing the vehicle after it fled from them while they were investigating a report of two people passed out in a vehicle.
The pursuit went through Hills and then east on 41st Street.
The chase ended near the intersection of 41st Street and Highway 75 after a Lyon County deputy laid stop sticks that deflated a tire on the suspects’ vehicle.
The driver drove the vehicle into a field southeast of the intersection of 150th Avenue and 41st Street where it came to a stop after getting stuck.
Rock County deputies arrived on the scene around this time. The driver, James Skoglund, age 36, from Ashton, Iowa, was arrested for fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle.
The passenger, Kimberlee Browne, age 38, from Vermillion, South Dakota, was arrested on a warrant out of Brookings County in South Dakota.
Law enforcement later learned the suspects were wanted for questioning in a Sioux Falls shooting.
A warrant has since been issued for Skoglund’s arrest for aggravated assault, commit or attempt to commit a felony with a firearm and possession of firearm by convicted felon.
Both parties were being held at the Nobles County Jail.
