Carleton man arrested after pursuit across Monroe County
MONROE COUNTY — Sheriff Troy Goodnough reported the arrest of a driver involved in a car chase with county deputies on Tuesday, March 25.
At 10:33 a.m., Deputy Jacob Laboe was dispatched to the Monroe County Community Credit Union on North Dixie Highway, after the report of a man threatening staff members and demanding money. The man had left a silver Chevrolet Impala, which was identified as the same vehicle involved in a home invasion incident in Newport reported in the early hours that day.
Laboe found the suspect's vehicle on North Dixie Highway near the Woodland Beach Subdivision. While he initially pulled over for a traffic stop, he fled in the car shortly after. Laboe took off in pursuit, following the car northbound on North Dixie Highway.
"At this time deputy Nick Bailey was able to deploy stop sticks at the intersection of North Dixie Highway and Pointe Aux Peaux Road, striking both front tires of the suspect vehicle," the sheriff's office said in a release.
Laboe continued following the car at a slower pace, with the Impala then running on two flat tires. Deputies were eventually able to stop the car on North Dixie Highway, north of Trombley Road in Berlin Township. The driver was taken into custody without further incident.
The suspect was identified as a 49-year-old from Carleton and lodged at the Monroe County Jail on charges of home invasion, and fleeing and eluding.
