On Friday, July 3rd, Eddy County Sheriff’s Deputy Sauve was involved in a high-speed pursuit with a high-performance motorcycle. Deputy Sauve observed the motorcycle traveling at 153 mph northbound on Highway 281 north of New Rockford before pursuing it. The motorcycle was very reckless and endangered motorists on the highway and onto the Spirit Lake Reservation. Deputy Sauve terminated the pursuit for the safety of others. The motorcycle was later spotted in Devils Lake and was involved in a pursuit with DLPD officers and other agencies. Later the same day, the suspect returned to New Rockford where Eddy County Sheriff deputies were able to apprehend the suspect as he fled on foot. Deputy Sauve placed 27 year-old Gunnar Syverson of Minot under arrest for an outstanding no-bond felony warrant out of Ward County and pending charges for Fleeing or Attempting to Elude, Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangerment, Driving While License Suspended, and other infractions including one of the highest speeding tickets in the state.
