Chase ends, man charged
A man was arrested Tuesday after a car chase.
According to Chatham-Kent police, the officers involved in the incident had attempted a traffic stop on Chatham Street in Blenheim shortly after noon. However, the vehicle did not stop. Officers tried to block the vehicle, police say, but the car reversed and almost hit a cruiser.
The vehicle drove off, but a short distance away the vehicle stopped and the driver attempted to flee the area. It did not work out, as officers were able to catch up to the man.
When officers arrested him, police say the man gave a false identity to them.
Police then learned that the man had a suspended license and was wanted on outstanding warrants held by other police services.
