 A high-speed police chase on the outskirts of Bemidji today ended when the car leading the chase went into the Mississippi River. Bemidji Police Chief Mike Mastin says it started around one this afternoon when a citizen reported there was a physical assault taking place inside a vehicle traveling northbound on Paul Buddion Drive near the Mississippi River Bridge. A Bemidji police officer in the area located the vehicle and attempted to stop it, but the driver failed to stop and fled westbound on Fifth Street, Northwest at speeds up to 95 miles per hour. The pursuit continued southbound on Jefferson Avenue and Car Lake Road at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour, then turned north on Monroe Avenue where the vehicle went across a yard and crashed into the Mississippi River. As the vehicle floated downstream, two suspects escaped and swam to the opposite riverbank, assisting Beltrami County Sheriff's deputies and Bemidji police officers were able to locate and detain both suspects. One individual is identified as 22-year-old Hamaya Beaus of Minneapolis. The second individual is a juvenile and is not being identified. The juvenile was transported to Sanford Health for evaluation and treatment of minor injuries. One Bemidji police officer was injured during the pursuit and received treatment for minor injuries. The case remains under investigation and there is no further information at this time.
