One man is in custody facing multiple charges after refusing to stop for Police this morning.

Just after midnight on September 24th, 2021, an unmarked Police vehicle was almost hit by a pick-up truck near the intersection of 8th Street and Broadway. The vehicle continued westbound on 8th Street at a high rate of speed, while displaying extremely erratic and abnormal driving. Officers observed the vehicle exiting onto the Sid Buckwold Bridge where it narrowly avoided a city transit bus in a construction zone. The driver of the truck continued down Idylwyld Drive at a high rate of speed.

The Air Support Unit took over and followed the vehicle until it parked in a lot on Faithful Avenue near 51st Street. The driver fled on foot where he was then tracked and apprehended by the SPS Canine Unit.

A 27-year-old man is charged with Impaired Driving, Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Evading Police and Refusal to Comply with a Breath Demand.
