After an 8 hour manhunt, police tracked down wanted career criminal Brian G. Fitch Sr who was driving with a woman.

Were they on a suicide mission to kill cops?

Suspect in police shooting knew he was likely headed back to prison  Star Tribune Updated: August 1, 2014 Brian G. Fitch Sr. had three ac­tive war­rants for his ar­rest: One stem­ming from a con­vic­tion for a vi­o­lent home bur­gla­ry, one from a con­vic­tion for ter­ror­is­tic threats and as­sault and an­oth­er from June, when he failed to ap­pear at a court hear­ing on first-de­gree drug charges. e­ries of vi­o­lent in­ci­dents in­volv­ing Fitch that date back 15 years and in­clude ev­er­y­thing from as­sault and ter­ror­ist threats to kid­nap­ping, court re­cords show. Fitch served al­most three years in pris­on, from 2000 to 2003, for a 1999 as­sault con­vic­tion. Sar­ah Latuseck, a cor­rec­tions spokes­wom­an, said that in 2000, Fitch was con­victed of es­cape. In 2004, Fitch was con­victed of first-de­gree bur­gla­ry and giv­en a stayed 41-month pris­on sen­tence in con­nec­tion with the crime. Over the next 10 years, he served about 20 months in cus­to­dy that was ap­plied to that sen­tence.Fitch was still on super­vised re­lease until a war­rant was is­sued June 2 for his ar­rest when he violated parole conditions. Fitch was a fugi­tive un­til po­lice arrested him Wednes­day night.

Cop-killing suspect got drug treatment, not longer sentence  a longtime Dakota County judge... he has always given serious consideration to treatment options in cases where a convicted criminal has battled drug or alcohol addiction....  “At the time, I felt society was better off with him being treated than with him being warehoused … and put back on the street untreated. Of course, if I knew then what I know now, I might have made a different decision.

Fitch rarely landed in jail long for other offenses. Instead, his record reveals a string of plea deals, dismissed charges, treatment options and suspended prison sentences that would take effect only if he violated probation....“It was clear Fitch has a history of violence, hatred toward police officers, and was going to do anything, including murder, to avoid capture,” Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said Friday.
