No one was injured, but a juvenile is in custody after a high speed pursuit around 5:15pm CT yesterday (Aug. 19, 2022) that started in Lyman County and ended in Stanley County south of Fort Pierre.
Lyman County Sheriff Steve Manger says a Lyman County Deputy received information about a possible stolen vehicle that was traveling into Lyman County. The Deputy located it at a business in Vivian and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle sped away, traveling north on Highway 83 toward Stanley County at a high rate of speed and the Deputy followed in pursuit. The vehicle ran out of gas on Highway 83 at the 114 mile marker south of Fort Pierre, in Stanley County. The driver exited and ran northeast into a pasture, but the Deputy gave chase on foot and was able to apprehend the suspect a short time later with assistance from other agencies.
Manger says due to the driver’s age, his name is being withheld at this time.
Agencies assisting Lyman County were the Stanley County Sheriff’s Office, South Dakota Highway Patrol, South Dakota Game Fish and Parks, Pierre Police Department and the Hughes County Sheriff’s Office.
