GFPD: Gun complaint leads to pursuit and arrest

A 24 year old Grand Forks man who was found hiding in the English Coulee following a police pursuit faces numerous charges.

Grand Forks police initially responded to a report of an individual with a gun shortly before 3:00 a.m. this morning (Thursday).  When officers arrived on scene the individual was gone.  The suspect vehicle was later spotted on the 1400 block of South 17th Street.  The driver refused to stop and after a brief chase the pursuit was terminated for safety reasons.

A short time later police located the vehicle parked on the 2900 block of Columbine Court with a female inside.  A perimeter was set up and a K-9 team tracked the suspect to the coulee.

The GFPD says Houston Morin was arrested and charged with terrorizing…criminal trespass…and an active warrant.

The female – 22 year old Shalyn Lewis of Grand Forks – was charged with fleeing… accomplice to reckless endangerment…and giving false information to law enforcement.

The GFSO assisted in the search and apprehension.
