Man Leads Police On High-Speed Chase Through Brainerd

A man lead Brainerd Police on a high-speed chase through Brainerd, including down South 6th Street through a road construction zone Thursday afternoon.

At around 3:15 p.m. on October 11, a Brainerd police officer in the area of Washington and North 8th Street observed Devon Majersky, who was known to have a cancelled driver’s license, driving a blue Ford Explorer.

Majersky was arrested and is awaiting charges for fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle, 1st Degree DWI, driving after cancellation, and others.

Anyone with additional information regarding the incident is asked to contact the Brainerd Police Department at 218-829-2805.
