A Fargo driver who led authorities on a high-speed chase in Grand Forks and Traill Counties faces several charges, including DUI.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says, around 2:15 PM Monday near Emerado, a trooper tried to stop a Ford Mustang that was driving 85 miles per hour in a 70 zone.

The driver fled east on Highway 2 at speeds of more than 120 miles per hour.

The car went south on Grand Forks County Road 3 to Eagle Avenue. Troopers tried to use spike strips near Reynolds and Buxton to end the pursuit, but it was ineffective, as the car turned south on Traill County Road 26.

The car eventually crossed I-29 and went south on Traill County Road 81, eventually stopping at the intersection with 6th Street Northeast near the Hillsboro beet plant.

The driver, 45-year-old Jesse Saldivar, was arrested for DUI… driving under suspension…fleeing a peace officer… and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

The vehicle was towed from the scene.
