(1/5) Earlier today, Washington County deputies assisted the Dakota County Sheriff’s Office after an abandoned vehicle connected to an earlier pursuit was found at Lake Elmo Park Reserve. Woodbury Police, Cottage Grove Police, and the Minnesota State Patrol also responded.
(4/5) At this time, it is unclear whether the suspicious person reported in the park is the same individual who fled from Dakota County. No one was located, and the person is believed to have left the area. The park has since reopened, and there is no danger to the public.
