MOORHEAD-The Moorhead Budweiser plant had to be evacuated and shut down during a police chase Sunday, July 23.

Authorities say around 6:45 p.m. they were called to a neighborhood a few blocks away from the plant, at 2101 26th St. S, for a burglary report where a man was trying to get into a home.

Officers in the area responded right away and chased the man into the Budweiser plant where he ran, scaled a fence and jumped onto a roof.

They caught up with him, forcing him to jump from the roof and go into another part of the building where he climbed ladders and scaffolding. A K-9 unit was called in and eventually found him.

The whole chase and search took about an hour.
