Traffic stop leads to arrest
ONEIDA – An attempted traffic stop late last month led to the arrest of a male driver wanted on a handful of outstanding warrants.

When officers attempted to pull over a vehicle for an equipment violation, the driver of the vehicle accelerated and began driving recklessly.

Officers said the chase was quickly terminated for safety reasons.

Shortly after, officers investigated to make sure the driver didn’t cause any secondary crashes, and found the vehicle less than a mile away crashed into a guardrail.

Hobart-Lawrence Police Department officers and a K9 arrived to assist after the driver fled on foot.

Officers located the suspect approximately two miles away and quickly placed him under arrest.

After being evaluated, the male driver was booked for fleeing and eluding, along with other outstanding warrants.

The driver was also given a traffic citation for the original equipment violation, which in most instances would have resulted in a verbal warning to fix the issue.

Officers said a search of the vehicle produced 30 grams of narcotics.
