The vehicle accelerated during the confrontation, dragging Harvey a short distance.
Harvey was treated at the scene by deputies, Montrose Rescue workers and Ridgeview Ambulance prior to being transported to the Hennepin County Medical Center where he died as a result of his injuries.
Two adults were arrested and booked into the Wright County Jail on criminal vehicular operations and simple robbery charges.
