GRAND FORKS, N.D.-Grand Forks residents and construction workers played a key role in the arrest of four suspects believed to be armed in a northwest neighborhood.

Law enforcement's Friday evening search of a trailer park near North 55th Street and University Avenue turned up four suspects: Joey Matthew Short, 24, Christa Autumn Rose Davis, 21, both of Fargo, Danny Jay DeLong, 33, and Whylon Edward DeLong, 25, both of Belcourt, N.D. It's unclear how the DeLongs are related.

The incident that put the neighborhood into lockdown started around 5:30 p.m. Friday with a report of a northbound reckless driver about 23 miles south of Grand Forks on Interstate 29, North Dakota Highway Patrol Sgt. Adam Dvorak said. A trooper found the vehicle, which clocked in at 100 mph, Dvorak said.

The Highway Patrol believes the suspect vehicle hit another vehicle on the interstate, but caused only minor damage.

The suspect vehicle was chased into Grand Forks, where it took the DeMers Avenue exit and headed west. Officers lost track of the vehicle, but they got some unexpected help.

"However, as you know, there is a lot of construction going on now right there," Dvorak said. "So there were workers everywhere, and they were all flagging us down and pointing us in the right direction."

People in cars and walking along the streets also helped point the officers in the right direction until the suspect vehicle was found abandoned with a blown tire in the 5300 block of University Avenue, Dvorak said. The suspects fled, Dvorak said.

Officers set up a perimeter around the trailer park and surrounding area to search for the suspects, telling people to stay clear of the area. The four suspects were apprehended-residents in the neighborhood also helped point out the fleeing suspects.

"We wouldn't have found them without (the residents)," Dvorak said.

Some of the suspects didn't go without resistance, he said. Two suspects had to be chased down, and another tried to kick out one of the police cars while being taken to jail.

"We have charges stemming from reckless driving, fleeing in a motor vehicle, fleeing on foot, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, DUI and hit and run," he said.

Dvorak said no one was injured in the incident.

Officers did receive reports of the suspects being armed, possibly with a gun. They found a knife on one suspect, but after searching the area with K-9 units, police couldn't find any firearms possibly left behind by the suspects.

Dvorak gave a special thanks to UND Police, the Grand Forks Police Department and the Grand Forks County Sheriff's Office-all of those agencies responded to the incident.

He also expressed gratitude to the public.

"Any 'thank you' you can get out to the citizens of Grand Forks would be greatly appreciated by the North Dakota Highway Patrol," he said.
