An East St. Louis man on release from prison is facing multiple charges after a car chase led police from Pike County into Missouri.
According to the Journal Courier, shortly after 6PM on Friday, February 5
th a Pike County Sheriff’s Deputy attempted a traffic stop on a Ford Explorer near Monroe Street in Pittsfield, but the driver sped off. According to police reports, the deputy pursued the vehicle east to near Detroit, when the driver turned around and headed back towards Pittsfield.
In a press release from Sheriff David Greenwood, the Pike County deputy terminated pursuit due to safety concerns. At approximately 6:30PM, a Pleasant Hill police officer spotted the vehicle on County Highway 11 and pursued it as it went through a residential area and the Pike County Fairgrounds and then onto Illinois Route 96. At that time another Pike County Deputy joined the pursuit and followed the vehicle into Missouri.
