HIGH SPEED CHASE RESULTS IN ARREST

Shortly after midnight on 22 Apr 07 Deputy Sheriff Staats attempted to stop a black Eagle Talon he observed traveling 90 mph on State Route 7 near milepost thirty-nine. Activated his lights and sirens, Deputy Staats continued to pursue the vehicle driven by Eric D. Conley, age 27, 46091 State Route 7, New Matamoras, and requested assistance from New Matamoras Police Chief Bourne. A rolling roadblock failed to terminate the chase, as Mr. Conley attempted to strike both of the pursuing vehicles. Conley continued on in excess of 100 mph then turned onto State Route 260 where he lost control of his vehicle near milepost two, left the roadway and rolled over. Deputy Staats noticed an odor of alcohol on Mr. Conley and observed several empty bottles as well as spilled beer on the passenger seat in the vehicle. Admitting he consumed several beers and smoked marijuana, Mr. Conley was belligerent and uncooperative when transported to the hospital and had to be handcuffed and taped to his bed. Conley was charged with a felony count of fleeing and eluding and misdemeanor counts of speeding, OVI and driving under a suspended license. Additional charges may be forthcoming.
