Minneapolis and Shakopee police were in pursuit of the same vehicle earlier in the night, according to Police Clips. The Police Clips page about the chase also includes audio of the Shakopee police pursuit.
The Eden Prairie part of the pursuit started near eastbound 494 and Bush Lake Road. An officer said the driver was "all over the road."
Three cars, one of which was a K-9 unit, followed the car north on 100 into Edina, onto eastbound 62, then south on 35W and then onto eastbound 66th Street.
The chase continued on eastbound 66th Street until an officer performed a PIT (police intervention technique) maneuver at the intersection with Lyndale in Richfield.
Speeds ranged from 55 mph in a 30-mph zone to more than 80 mph on the freeways.
The dispatcher said the driver "may be high on meth." An officer arrested the suspect at 1:38 a.m. in Richfield.
