Bismarck man crashes vehicle in Jamestown after fleeing law enforcement, police say
May 10—JAMESTOWN — An 18-year-old Bismarck man was arrested Saturday, May 10, after he led law enforcement on a pursuit that started on Interstate 94 and ended in a two-vehicle crash in Jamestown, according to Maj. Justin Blinsky with the Jamestown Police Department. Jamie Raye Barnes is in the Stutsman County Correctional Center on suspicion of felony reckless endangerment, driving with a suspended license and possession of stolen property, Blinsky said. Barnes was also issued an infraction for possession of marijuana and faces additional charges from other law enforcement agencies involved in the incident, Blinsky said. Sgt. Nathaniel King with the North Dakota Highway Patrol said a state trooper responded to a report of reckless driving at about 8 a.m. Saturday on I-94. He said the trooper attempted to make a traffic stop on a 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo about a mile west of Eldridge on I-94 and the vehicle fled eastbound toward Jamestown. King said the vehicle exited into Jamestown and the trooper discontinued the pursuit and provided the description of the vehicle to the Jamestown Police Department. Blinsky said the Monte Carlo exited I-94 at exit 257 and entered Jamestown. He said the vehicle drove through residential areas in southwest Jamestown. Jamestown police officers and Stutsman County Sheriff's Office deputies were directed to the vehicle's locations by observations being radioed to them by the state trooper. The vehicle was located by a Stutsman County Sheriff's Office deputy and a Jamestown police officer as it approached the intersection of 17th Street Southwest and U.S. Highway 281. Blinsky said the vehicle blatantly drove through a red light and almost struck another motorist at the intersection. Jamestown police officers and Stutsman County deputies engaged in pursuing the vehicle on Business Loop West to alert other motorists of the reckless, speeding vehicle, Blinsky said. He said the vehicle turned onto 1st Avenue South and went northbound where a state trooper attempted to deploy tire deflating devices. He said the driver of the fleeing vehicle avoided the tire deflation devices by turning off 1st Avenue South. Blinsky said the vehicle continued to flee throughout parts of southeast Jamestown. As the vehicle was driving eastbound on 10th Street Southeast toward the intersection with 7th Avenue Southeast, the driver blatantly disregarded a red light and struck a 2021 GMC Sierra pickup, driven by a 30-year-old Jamestown man, traveling southbound through the intersection, Blinsky said. Both vehicles came to rest in the 1000 block of 7th Avenue Southeast. King said airbags were deployed in the crash. Blinsky said Barnes tried to flee on foot but was quickly taken into custody. Blinsky said the Monte Carlo contained two juvenile male passengers and a juvenile female passenger, all from Bismarck. He said Barnes and one male juvenile were transported by Jamestown Area Ambulance to Jamestown Regional Medical Center for non-life-threatening injuries. The 30-year-old Jamestown man received minor injuries and later received medical treatment via personal conveyance, Blinsky said. During the investigation, Blinsky said it was determined that Barnes fled from law enforcement in Bismarck Friday night. Blinsky said the Monte Carlo was taken from the owner without consent. He said impairment from drugs is believed to be a contributing factor. The Bismarck Police Department also assisted with the investigation. The incident remains under investigation.
