Multi-agency chase ends with empty vehicle found in Black Hawk County
A motorist led five area agencies through a 36 mile pursuit from southwest Independence to Black Hawk County before abandoning the car and vanishing. No injuries were reported. Five patrol cars were damaged and a night-vision plane helped search until 1 a.m. Authorities released few details about the driver, citing prior traffic violations. Nearby Cedar Rapids saw 13 car break-ins linked to the same suspects. A separate Lovilia fatality occurred when James McGee, 42, was struck on Iowa Highway 5 by Eugene Clark, 61. In Minneapolis, former Timberwolves staffer Charles Davisson, 33, seeks dismissal of stalking charges.
