A 36 year old man from Pierre has been taken into custody after a woman was stabbed and her vehicle was taken.
Information from the Pierre Police Department says at around 7pm Monday (Dec. 30, 2024), Patrol Officers were dispatched to the 500 Block of S. Lincoln Avenue because of a disorderly person. The investigation indicated that Torin Dewitt was reportedly intoxicated, had stabbed a female victim in the leg and then took her vehicle without permission.
Approximately 45 minutes later, a Patrol Officer located Dewitt driving the vehicle near W. Dakota Avenue and S. Poplar Avenue. The Officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but when the emergency lights and siren were activated, Dewitt accelerated. The Officer pursued Dewitt until Dewitt ran a stop sign while turning onto Sioux Avenue, at which point the Officer ended the pursuit for safety reasons.
Dewitt was located at around noon on Tuesday. He was arrested and taken to the Hughes County Jail charged with aggravated assault domestic, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and eluding.
