OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 07/09/2025, a deputy from the Norman County Sheriff's Office attempted to conduct a welfare check on Jerry Redden, 33. Redden did not stop and a multi-agency police chase began. Deputies from the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office, White Earth Police Department, and troopers from the Minnesota State Patrol joined the pursuit as Redden continued westbound on Highway 200, then turned south onto Highway 59 into Mahnomen County.
Approximately four miles north of Mahnomen, Redden veered into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with a semi-truck. His vehicle was destroyed, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The semi-truck driver was unharmed.
The Minnesota State Patrol is leading the investigation. Redden was from Thief River Falls, and no further details about his condition prior to the crash have been released. It is unclear whether officers attempted any tactics to de-escalate or terminate the chase prior to the crash.
