A Holstein man led authorities on a three-county high-speed chase Saturday before being apprehended in Sac County. At approximately 3 p.m., a deputy with the Audubon County Sheriff’s Office attempted to pull over a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado in the 1600 block of Crane Ave. northwest of Audubon. Instead of stopping, 37-year-old Ryan Franklin Holm increased his speed heading northbound on Crane Ave. Eventually, stop-sticks were deployed and Holm was taken into custody. He has been charged with child endangerment, eluding, reckless driving, speeding, failure to obey stop signs, no insurance and operating a non-registered vehicle. Holm was transported to the Audubon County jail and held until his appearance before the magistrate. A preliminary hearing was set for Thursday, June 22, and then Holm was transferred to Ida County on an unrelated matter. The incident remains under investigation. The Audubon Police Department, the Iowa State Patrol, and Carroll and Sac County Sheriff’s Offices assisted in the high-speed chase.
