Buffalo Lake man arrested after pursuit
Joshua Stark, 34, of Buffalo Lake, was arrested Sunday after leading law enforcement officials on a six-mile chase in Renville County.
According to the Renville County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy had attempted to stop a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix for speeding and failure to signal a turn. Stark allegedly led deputies on a pursuit through Martinsburg Township, and eventually stopped. However, he had to be physically removed from the car. He is believed to have been impaired, according to the sheriff’s office.
Stark was taken into custody without further incident and booked into the Renville County Jail on probable cause charges of fleeing in a motor vehicle, first-degree driving while impaired, driving with a cancelled driver’s license inimical to public safety, and obstructing legal process.
Assisting with the incident were the Minnesota State Patrol and Fairfax Police Department.
