(Moorhead, MN) -- One person is under arrest, while three others were detained following a possible shooting and chase into Moorhead late Wednesday.

The Moorhead Police Department says that at around 11 p.m. officers responded to reports of a vehicle headed into the city on I-94 traveling unsafely. When the vehicle was found, it was going over 100 mph. After a brief chase, the vehicle turned off at mile marker two and exited at Main Avenue Southeast, where it crashed. The four inside the car then ran on foot.

After a perimeter was set up with help from the Clay County Sheriff's Office, State Patrol, Dilworth Police and Fargo Police, a canine unit was sent in and found three loaded firearms and a backpack containing marijuana. Eventually, all four individuals were found hiding in culvert near the southwest corner of 34th street and I-94.

The driver, 18-year-old Daniel Cisse of Fargo, faces felony fleeing charges and is being held in the Clay County Jail.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
