On November 6, 2026 at approximately 2:12PM a Marshall County Deputy conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for speeding and equipment violations traveling on 18th Avenue in Marshalltown, Iowa.  The Deputy made contact with the driver and collected his license and vehicle information.  The driver was identified as Garrett Sager, age 36, of Nebraska.  A check of the driver’s information showed he had an active arrest warrant out of Story County, Iowa.  When the Deputy and another officer approached the vehicle, they instructed the driver to get out of the car.  The driver refused and fled in the vehicle, and a pursuit ensued.  The pursuit crossed Tama and Benton counties on Highway 30 and ended in Cedar Rapids. Consistent with standard agency practice for the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office, the pursuit is under an agency administrative review. The Iowa State Patrol is conducting an independent investigation of the pursuit and incident in Cedar Rapids.
