Car thief suspect caught following 5-hour foot chase

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) - Dickinson police arrested a car thief suspect after a foot chase through the city that lasted about five hours.

The incident Thursday morning began after officers tried to stop a car that had been reported stolen in Bismarck, and the driver fled.

KQCD-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2dwlK71 ) that authorities say the man broke into a garage but fled again when the homeowners confronted him. He allegedly later broke into another home, locked himself in with the family and then jumped out a back window when officers arrived.

Police eventually caught the 30-year-old Mandan man and arrested him on charges of terrorizing and burglary. Formal charges were pending.
