 Brainerd police officers were sent on a wild chase yesterday through downtown Brainerd that ended in a foot pursuit. At about three in the afternoon, officers spotted 28-year-old Devon Magersky driving with a canceled driver's license. Magersky noticed the police car behind him and sped through an active work zone down South 6th Street. He then drove through several yards before entering the Crowland County fairgrounds where he crashed through a fence that hit a police car. Finally, Magersky ran on foot through a swampy wooded area and that's where police were able to apprehend him. We're very, very fortunate and very, very thankful that no one got hurt. His driving was extremely dangerous. Probably some of the worst I've ever seen with an in-town police pursuit and we're very, very lucky that no one got hurt as a result of this. This has to be one of the worst ones that we've had in town where his driving was so dangerous. Magersky is facing charges for fleeing from a police officer and first degree DWI.
