Thursday the Sherburne County deputies were involved in a pursuit of a vehicle that had been reported stolen out of St. Cloud. 

 

A deputy in an unmarked squad encountered the vehicle in the city of Clear Lake at approximately 11:20 a.m. and began to follow it. The vehicle eventually turned in to a driveway of a residence in the 8800 block of 71st Street in Clear Lake Township.

 

Others deputies arrived, including a marked squad with it emergency lights flashing. The driver of the stolen vehicle ignored the deputies trying to stop him and crashed into an unmarked squad before going through a ditch and driving back onto 71st Street.

 

The vehicle, a 2014 Jeep Patriot, fled at a high rate of speed turning south onto 89th Avenue and then east onto 77th Street. The vehicle veered off the road at the point where 77th Street turns south and becomes 90th Avenue.

 

The vehicle went into a cornfield, continued east through a bean field, went across Cty Rd 55 and into another corn field before crashing into a line of trees.

 

Deputies set up a perimeter and were assisted by a Rogers Police Dept K-9 and a helicopter from the Minnesota State Patrol in searching for the male driver and a female occupant who fled from the vehicle after it crashed.

 

Investigators were unable to locate either party.

 

Investigators identified the driver of the stolen vehicle as Jeremiah Harvey Schwarzkopf, DOB 12-1-1978.

 

Deputies received a call at approximately 4:37 p.m. that a male matching Schwarzkopf’s description and a female were in the area of the 7000 block of 100th Avenue Southeast and told a resident in that area that they had gotten into trouble and needed help.

 

The male and female had no shoes on and were walking north from the area. Deputies set up a perimeter and searched for the suspects but were unable to locate them.

 

On the morning of 10/6/2017, deputies received a call from a resident in the 7200 block of 100th Avenue Southeast, alerting them to a suspicious female.

 

Deputies responded and arrested Victoria Ann Miller, DOB 1/23/1993. Investigators believe she was the passenger in the vehicle that Schwarzkopf was driving.

 

Anyone with information about Schwarzkopf’s whereabouts is asked to call Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office at (763) 765-3500.
