A Lynchburg man remained behind bars Monday facing charges including assaulting a police officer and possession of drugs after allegedly leading an officer on a foot chase of around a half mile.
At 10:13 p.m. Saturday, a Hillsboro police officer attempted a traffic stop on Earl Elliott, 48, who eventually abandoned the vehicle he was driving in the Golden Manor Apartments on North East Street, according to the Hillsboro Police Department.
An officer said he attempted to stop Elliott for a number of traffic violations, but Elliott continued driving through alleys behind Flagway, down Willow Street and North East Street, eventually pulling into the apartment complex and stopping at the end of the driveway.
