Parolee leads Reading police, troopers on 24-mile chase reaching 120 mph
A parolee wanted for stealing his ex-girlfriend's gun was apprehended by state police near the Adamstown exit of Route 222 following a 24-mile vehicle chase that started in Reading and reached 120 mph. Troopers used spike strips to slow Carlos J. Flores, 28, then one of them used an unmarked patrol vehicle to force Flores to stop. Troopers from the Lancaster and Reading stations took him into custody. Flores, whose last known permanent address was in Ephrata, was committed to Berks County Jail in lieu of a total of $110,000 bail after arraignment before District Judge Brian K. Strand in Reading Central Court. He faces felony counts of theft by unlawful taking, possessing a firearm while prohibited, flight to avoid apprehension or punishment and lesser counts of possessing marijuana and other controlled substances. According to court records: Reading police Officer William Fursin III was in a marked patrol vehicle Wednesday morning with state parole agent Christopher Hall. Shortly after 8 a.m. the data system in the patrol vehicle showed a hit by a license plate reader for an Acura TSX sedan registered to Flores. City police had charged Flores a day earlier after his ex-girlfriend reported that he stole her pistol after absconding from a halfway house. Fursin drove toward the Bingaman Street Bridge and turned on his emergency lights and siren. He saw the suspect's vehicle turn from South Fifth Street onto Pine Street. He caught up to the Acura, which began to park on the east side of the street where parking is prohibited. Fursin conducted a high-risk stop: pulling up behind the Acura, he exited the vehicle with his service weapon and pointed it at the driver, ordering him to put his hands outside the car. The driver, whom he identified as Fores, looked at him through the side mirror and then pulled away, speeding toward the bridge. Fursin returned to the patrol vehicle and began to pursue the Acura, which turned onto Route 422. Another officer joined the chase as the vehicles passed the Penn Street exit. The Acura swerved from the left lane onto the ramp to Route 12, nearly hitting several vehicles, before veering back to Route 422 westbound, continuing past the Berkshire Mall. The suspect continued onto southbound Route 222 toward Lancaster, going as fast as 120 mph. Fursin learned that state police from Reading were joining the chase. Several troopers whooshed past the Reading police car. Fursin followed without his emergency lights or siren on. A short time later, he arrived at the Adamstown exit where the Acura was stopped. He saw Flores in the back of a trooper's vehicle. Flores was transported to Central Processing. Fursin had the car towed to City Hall and applied for a search warrant. A search of the vehicle revealed the 9 mm pistol that had been reported stolen to Reading police a day earlier, a plastic bag containing about 4.5 ounces of synthetic cannabis and a larger bag containing an unspecified amount of loose marijuana. Flores has a history of violent offenses dating to 2015, when he was arrested by Reading police for stabbing a woman in her leg. In 2022, he was sentenced by Judge Thomas G. Parisi to three to six years in state prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit aggravated assault. His convictions and status as a parolee prohibit him from having a firearm.
