At 1:28PM on March 24, 2010, the Sac County Sheriff’s Office received a call from Larry Ort of Auburn. Ort told the Sheriff’s Office that he was having suicidal thoughts. Ort was mobile and would not tell the Sheriff’s Office his whereabouts.

A Sheriff’s Office negotiator stayed on the phone with Ort for over 3-hours while law enforcement tried to locate him. With the assistance of On-Star, Ort was located first near Lake City, Iowa and then again in Auburn. Ort was found by law enforcement. Ort lead law enforcement on a pursuit lasting approximately 40 minutes and reaching speeds in excess of 120MPH. Ort was stopped by a road block about ¼ mile east of Hwy 196 on 270th street south east of Sac City. Ort held law enforcement at bay with threats of using a handgun for about 45 minutes. The Sac County Sheriff’s Office negotiator was able to talk Ort in to surrendering without further incident at 6:21PM.

A .45 caliber handgun and ammunition was seized from Ort. Ort has been charged with numerous traffic violations, eluding law enforcement and carrying a concealed weapon.
