(KNSI) — A 49-year-old St. Cloud man was arrested Wednesday night in Sartell after fleeing police, triggering an extensive search involving six law enforcement agencies.
Sartell police say just before 7:00, they were in the area of the 200 block of 10th Avenue North when they spotted Chad Hagen getting into a car. Hagen is wanted for several felonies. When they tried to arrest him, police say Hagen resisted and drove away.
Officers say they gave chase, and Hagen stopped, got out of the car, and fled on foot. Sources tell KNSI a large perimeter was set up, and several streets were blocked around PineMeadow School. The Sartell Police Department was assisted by departments from St. Cloud, Waite Park, St. Joseph, Avon, and deputies from the Stearns County Sheriff’s Department. Police say a K9 unit was deployed to track Hagen, who was found in a swampy area.
Hagen was arrested and booked into the Stearns County jail for the felony warrants and is facing new charges of obstruction and fleeing.
