A Bemidji police officer narrowly escaped injury early Friday morning when a drunken driver crashed into his patrol car. The officer was on a separate traffic stop when the suspect vehicle rear-ended the squad car and pushed it into the first vehicle. The collision caused major damage to the police car. The 22-year-old driver failed a sobriety and breath test and was jailed on suspicion of DWI. The Bemidji PD is reminding drivers of the "move over" law which requires motorists to slow down and move over when approaching an emergency vehicle.

A Henderson man is charged with felony assault and malicious punishment of a child for the alleged abuse of his girlfriend's 15-month-old daughter. Twenty-four-year-old Bryan Delbridge was taking care of two of her kids while she worked overnight when the crime occurred. The toddler suffered multiple injuries including bumps and bruises on her face and head. Delbridge initially told police the girl was hit by a door, but later reportedly admitted to getting frustrated because she was crying for no reason and refused to take her bottle. He could face up to five years in prison if convicted. His next court hearing is April 4th.
