Authorities say a driver who led them on a chase in Dubuque County parked and exited his vehicle without putting it into park, and the vehicle rolled backward and damaged a squad car. 56 year old Daniel Grubbe was arrested just after midnight Monday in the 9400 block of Bellevue Heights Road on charges of eluding while participating in a felony, possession of cocaine-third or subsequent offense, possession of methamphetamine-third or subsequent offense and interference with official acts. According to reports, two deputies in squad cars attempted to stop Grubbe’s vehicle on U.S. Highway 52 South near Bellevue Heights Road to serve a warrant. Grubbe drove from the scene, leading deputies on a high speed chase to a parking lot of the former Lombardi’s General Store. There, Grubbe got out of his vehicle, but didn’t put it in park. It rolled backwards and crashed into a deputy’s squad car, causing over $1,000 in damage. Grubbe was arrested and taken into custody. Methamphetamine and cocaine were found near Grubbe and in his vehicle.Â
