[UPDATED] Woman injured in Turner County police chase that led to 5-hour standoff

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — A Turner County woman was injured after she was hit by a pickup on the run from police Tuesday.

Authorities say the pickup’s driver took off after a traffic stop on the northern edge of Harrisburg shortly after noon, leading sheriff’s deputies into Turner County. The chase went as fast as 100 mph. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said the driver veered off the road, driving “through multiple fields and farm places in an attempt to elude law enforcement.”

The truck hit the woman while she was standing in her yard, according to authorities. She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and was not identified.

The sheriff’s office said the driver crashed through a fence and got back on the road, where a South Dakota Highway Patrol trooper disabled the truck with a PIT maneuver near 461st Ave & 279th St. The truck slowed down and stopped in a nearby field, triggering a standoff that lasted close to five hours.

“During the standoff, we received information that one of the occupants was possibly being held hostage,” the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department said in a release. “We also received information that one of the suspects was armed with a gun.”

“The standoff lasted just over four and a half hours before the SWAT teams were able to use less lethal munitions to get the suspects to exit the vehicle without incident,” the release said.

Deputies said there were three people in the pickup, which they later found to be stolen. The driver, 38-year-old Chaz Vanorman, faces multiple charges, including driving under the influence, aggravated eluding and possession of stolen property.

35 year-old Cody Phrommany and 24 year-old Catelynn Thu were passengers in the truck. They were also arrested on multiple charges. Turner County deputies said in a release they found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the truck.
