On September 2, 2026, around 1055pm, Minneapolis Police reported to our Deputy on patrol that there was a vehicle headed North on 120th road speeding and driving carelessly. The Deputy on duty happened to be on 120th road.

He stopped his vehicle and waited on the vehicle headed North on 120th. The Deputy did not observe any speeding but the vehicle did not have lights on the back of the trailer.

The Deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on the vehicle and the vehicle then increased his speed and fled from the Deputy.

The vehicle started driving on the county gravel roads leaving behind a cloud of dust. The deputy tracked the vehicle to R***e and 160th where he lost the dust cloud from the fleeing vehicle.

A caller at 1624 R***e road called 911 and reported a vehicle hitting a power pole in his yard. All responding officer went to this residence. The driver’s door on the vehicle was open when the Deputy first got on scene. The vehicle was cleared and officers with the Kansas Highway Patrol Cloud County Sheriff’s Office and Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office cleared the residence and multiple out buildings on and around the property.

We believe after working on this investigation there was only one individual in the fleeing vehicle. After searching the area for several hours for the individual who fled on foot, the search was ended around 230am. K9, foot patrol, UTVs and a drone from Cloud County was used in an attempt to locate and apprehend the suspect. The suspect was never located while officers were on scene. At 350am, the Sheriff’s Office was notified by the property owner the suspect was seen on a game camera on his property around 215am.

The Deputy on duty returned to the property and assisted the property owner in removing personal property from the residence. I’m asking the public to be on the lookout and if they happen to see anyone walking from or around the location to call us, do not approach and do not offer him a ride.

We believe we are looking for a Male subject, a Floyd Morrison, Mr. Morrison is a white male, blue eyes, 5 foot 10 inches and weighs 175 pounds. He has grey hair and possibly facial hair. Mr. Morrison should be considered dangerous and he may be trying to get to Nebraska.
