ADAMS COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) — Ultimately, State Police in Adams County charge a man after he led them on a high-speed chase.

Specifically, according to police, an officer attempted to pull over a vehicle for a traffic code violation on March 1 just before 9:30 AM at Camp Letterman Drive and York Road in Straban Township.

However, State Police say when the officer approached the vehicle, the driver took off.

Consequently, the vehicle then traveled approximately nine miles. During this time, it drove at speeds in excess of 110 MPH. Furthermore, it was weaving in and out of heavy traffic, according to authorities.

It took two attempts at using tire deflating stop sticks to slow a woman down enough for deputies to execute a P.I.T maneuver on her F-250 pickup truck to stop a dangerous multi-mile high speed pursuit.

Marguerite Elizabeth Crumbley, 42, Greensboro, was arrested at 11:51 p.m. on West Marion Street in Eatonton after a chase that began on Interstate 20 in Morgan County, ended in Putnam County. Crumbley’s pickup truck was spun out by Morgan County Deputy Derek Snead after three of the truck’s tires had been destroyed by stop sticks deployed by the Eatonton Police Department on Georgia Highway 16 coming into Eatonton.

On March 12, 2023, at 12:07 p.m., North District General Patrol units responded to the north part of Winnipeg for a report of a stolen Peterbilt box truck being driven erratically and tracked by GPS.

Soon after, officers acquired and observed the truck near Jefferson Avenue and King Edward Street. The vehicle was followed as it travelled through the Seven Oaks, River East and Transcona areas, with officers repeatedly attempting to stop it safely.

A tire deflation device (“Stop Stick”) was successfully deployed in the Gunn Road and Day Street area. The truck continued to flee and attempted to side-swipe a police vehicle but failed. Soon after, it struck a snowbank in the 900 block of Redonda Street.

Consequently, troopers located the Sentra in the Clayton area. Furthermore, they were able to take Mr. Ponzo into custody as he stood outside the car. However, the driver of the Sentra, Khyree Dacoste, 32, of Philadelphia, began driving away, Cpl. DeMalto said.

MINNEAPOLIS – A Minneapolis man has been charged in a criminal complaint for an armed carjacking spree and illegal possession of a firearm, as U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger announced.

At that point, therefore, the police air wing was able to pick up the car’s movements. Initially, after driving around a number of streets at Yarrawonga, it headed east on the Murray Valley Highway. Subsequently, it went through Bundalong. Finally, it drove onto the Wangaratta-Yarrawonga Road towards Wangaratta.
