JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A 25 year-old Jamestown man is still wanted by the Jamestown Police Department following an incident Wednesday evening.

Major Justin Blinsky reports that just before 6 PM, a Jamestown Police Officer attempted to stop a vehicle which was being driven by a male suspect who had active felony warrants for his arrest. The officer initiated a traffic stop near Northland Estates trailer park in Northeast Jamestown.

“The male suspect evaded capture by striking the patrol car and speeding away,” Major Blinsky reports. “The vehicle was located minutes later near the intersection of 12 Avenue NE and Railroad Drive. The vehicle slid off the roadway and became inoperable.”

The driver fled on foot and a search for Levi Shawn Guthmiller commenced.

“The suspect is believed to be armed with a firearm and potentially dangerous,” Blinsky stated.

A CodeRED Alert was issued to warn citizens of the wanted suspect and to encourage anyone with information to come forward and not confront Guthmiller. Guthmiller is 6 feet tall, 160 pounds with red hair. He was last seen wearing a dark colored jacket with a white hoodie and blue jeans.

“The vehicle also contained a 21 year-old female passenger, who was detained for questioning. Guthmiller has not been located at this time,” Major Blinsky reported.

Anyone with information about this incident or Guthmiller’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Jamestown Police Department at 701-252- 1000.

The Jamestown Police Department was assisted by the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office. This incident remains under investigation.
