The chase ended inside Cass Lake when officers used a PIT maneuver to disable his vehicle and boxed him in. Seelye refused to comply with commands to exit but was forcibly removed and taken into custody.
Felony Charges
Prosecutors have charged Seelye with three felonies:
- Assault with a dangerous weapon – vehicle
