Suspected Deer Poacher Crashes During 100 MPH Chase in Kandiyohi County

The case stems from a poaching complaint during archery season before Minnesota's firearm deer hunt opens Nov. 8.

Overview

  • Deputies received a poaching report around 6:42 p.m. near 255th Avenue and 115th Street Northeast in Burbank Township.
  • A sheriff’s deputy and a Minnesota DNR conservation officer responded, then a truck matching the suspect description sped past them without lights.
  • Officers pursued the vehicle for about two miles at speeds exceeding 100 mph heading east.
  • The truck lost control near Roseville Township, rolled multiple times, and the 37-year-old Willmar driver exited the vehicle before being arrested.
  • The suspect was taken to CentraCare in Paynesville with serious but non-life-threatening injuries as the sheriff’s office and DNR continue the investigation with charges pending.
