He ended up on the ND side of the river, in Trefoil Park at 14th Ave and Elm St N in Fargo. He was taken into custody by Fargo Officers and Clay County Deputies, and was arrested and taken to the Cass County Jail on a warrant for a 24/7 violation and Felony Fleeing in a Motor Vehicle (a Minnesota Charge).
Neither Bredell or any officers were injured during this event.
