Man arrested in SD after chase, tower climb

Posted:

A man is in custody after allegedly leading police on a chase in northeast South Dakota and then climbing halfway up an electrical transmission tower. 

The chase Sunday afternoon began in Aberdeen and ended northeast of Westport when a Brown County deputy talked the man into coming down from the high-voltage tower. 

Witnesses say the man parked his car in Westport, swam across the Elm River and climbed the tower. Authorities did not immediately identify him.
