One person is in custody after authorities rushed the property where a Polk County deputy was shot Monday morning.

The deputy was injured while riding in a Border Patrol helicopter, near Bagley, Minnesota.

Officials say the border patrol helicopter was flying around the area looking for drug activity.

The deputy was injured when the helicopter was hit by two rounds from a high powered rifle. He was hurt after one of the rounds exploded the glass of the aircraft window near him. The aircraft had to do an emergency landing at the Fosston Airport.

“A Polk County Deputy, along with another law enforcement agency was involved in a situation where the Deputy was injured. The Deputy received medical treatment and has since been released,” said Polk County Sheriff Barb Erdman.

The deputy's name has not been released yet.

Just after 10 a.m., law enforcement officers from around the region raced to the scene of shooting, and had a property surrounded.

Around 11:00 a.m. the home was rushed by authorities, but it was empty.

The suspect, 71-year-old Carstie Clausen, was later found hiding in the woods nearby.

Clausen is being held in the Clearwater Jail awaiting formal charges.
