High Speed Chase Ends with a Tasering

Police have been getting their money’s worth out of Tasers this summer.

Both the Express-Times (read it here) and Morning Call (read it here) report on an incident that began in Bushkill Twp yesterday when a vehicle was stolen from a home on Gove Road.

Police were notified and a suspect’s name was provided.  In the evening police spotted the vehicle and a chase up and down route 33 including an excursion through Plainfield and Bushkill Townships ended in the yard of a home on Beaver Run Road in Bushkill Township.

The 19 year old is charged with 4 felonies, 4 misdemeanors, and a “series” of traffic violations.  Three officers were injured while apprehending the individual, which led to the use of the taser.
