Two charged in Fargo-Moorhead police pursuit on Tuesday morning

Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – Multiple charges are being filed against two individuals following a police chase that started in Fargo and ended in Moorhead early Tuesday morning.

Fargo police were tracking a stolen vehicle that crossed into Moorhead shortly before 1:00 a.m., and, as Moorhead police gave chase, the pursuit was called off due to the vehicle’s speed and public safety.

A short time later officers located the vehicle abandoned and set up a perimeter. With the help of K-9 search teams the suspects were located hiding nearby.
Moorhead police say 33-year old Felix Wallette III is being charged with possession of stolen property and fleeing in a motor vehicle. 

33-year old Krystle Landa was arrested on charges of fleeing and an outstanding warrant.

During a search of the vehicle following the pursuit, suspected narcotics were found. The Moorhead Police Department said the investigation is on-going and additional criminal charges may be filed.
