Man arrested after high-speed chase

SIOUX FALLS (AP) — Authorities have charged a man arrested Friday morning in Sioux Falls after a high-speed pursuit that started in Lennox when a bank security alarm sounded.

The South Dakota Highway Patrol says 25-year-old John Robert Graham is charged with aggravated eluding. The patrol says additional charges may be considered.

Patrol Capt. Kevin Joffer said the chase began after initial reports of shots fired at the bank.

Joffer says the suspect stole a pickup truck in the Lennox area and led authorities on a chase that lasted about 30 minutes before troopers collided with the truck and arrested the suspect.

Joffer says it’s unknown if the suspect tried to rob the bank but law enforcement is looking for a second vehicle that was near the bank.
