At approximately 4:50 p.m., Monday, April 10, Duluth Police assisted the Proctor Police Department in attempting to locate a trailer that was just stolen from a business. Officers responded to Highway 2 and W Skyline Pkwy where the suspected vehicle and trailer were located. A suspected individual, later identified as 27-year-old Duluth resident Andrew Langenbrunner, fled the scene on foot through the woods from Highway 2/I-35 to the Lake Superior Zoo. Officers pursued on foot, and Langenbrunner jumped into Kingsbury Creek in an attempt to avoid officers. Officers tracked Langenbrunner who made entry into a fenced-in area at the Lake Superior Zoo (not an enclosure). Langenbrunner was detained, transported to a local hospital for an evaluation, and then lodged at the St. Louis County Jail for pending charges of Theft and Fleeing.
This incident demonstrates the outstanding teamwork by the Duluth Police Department, Proctor Police Department, Hermantown Police Department, St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office, Duluth Fire Department, and Mayo Ambulance.
