N.D. (AP) – Authorities say a man who stole a pickup from a fire station in North Dakota led a team of deputies on a chase over icy roads and narrowly beat an oncoming train before he was arrested.
WDAY-TV reports that fire officials say the Fargo man was rummaging through property in Sheldon, looking for a ride to Enderlin. Larry Wayman says his son called 911 when he found the man inside his home. Authorities say the suspect eventually made his way to the fire station where got his hands on a pickup truck and took off.
Wayman joined deputies in tailing the truck on ice-covered back roads. He says he saw the suspect break through a stop arm at a railroad crossing just before a train blew through.
Deputies caught up with the man after a nine-mile chase Monday.
