A Mississippi man was arrested by the Minot Police Department following a brief pursuit Friday.

According to the department, at about 9:00 p.m., officers located a stolen silver 2002 Dodge Caravan in the 3100 block of 16th Street Southwest. The vehicle had been reported stolen to the department earlier.

The driver and sole occupant, Terrance D. Covington, 30, of Natchez, Mississippi, was wanted in connection with charges of robbery, domestic violence-serious bodily injury and terrorizing from an incident that occurred last Wednesday in Minot.

Officers attempted a traffic stop in the 1400 block of 16th Street Southwest, but Covington fled, initiating a short vehicle pursuit, a department news release stated. The pursuit ended when the stolen vehicle collided with a tree near the UND Center for Family Medicine. Covington then fled on foot, but officers quickly apprehended him without further incident.

Covington has been charged with armed robbery, a Class A felony, and domestic violence-serious bodily injury, terrorizing, theft of a motor vehicle and fleeing in a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, all Class C felonies.

Covington was transferred to the Ward County Jail.
