Wild Police Chase

A 26-year old man is in custody after a wild chase on the City's north side.  Shortly before 10 o'clock last night Police attempted a traffic stop, but the car driven by the man, took off and eventually collided with another vehicle at the corner of Cumberland and Wolseley Streets.  The suspect then fled on foot before officers eventually captured him hiding under the deck of a home on St. James Street.  The male was found to be in possession of several weapons including two knives, brass knuckles and a taser, plus a large amount of cash.  The suspect had eight outstanding warrants and now faces an additional 10 charges including dangerous driving, fleeing from police and assault of police.  He'll answers to those charges in court today. The driver of the other vehicle involved in the collision was not injured.
