1:10 p.m.
A South Dakota trooper says state highway patrol officials found a dead woman wrapped in a blanket in an SUV stopped after a high-speed chase with a drunk driver from California.
A court complaint filed Tuesday says 30-year-old Tosten Walsh Lommen, of Santa Cruz, faces charges including aggravated eluding and drunken driving. Attorney General Marty Jackley's office says state authorities are investigating the "suspicious death."
The Pennington County Clerk of Courts office says Lommen's bond has been set at $2.5 million.
