FINDLEY LAKE – An Erie man is in police custody after being involved in an alleged high speed chase with authorities last Monday night.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office says it received a request for assistance from the Pennsylvania State Police with a vehicle pursuit which had entered into New York in the vicinity of Findley Lake.
The vehicle operator – identified as 51 year-old Marshall Young of Erie – reportedly lost control traveling east on Rt. 430 while traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle slid sideways into the westbound lane leaving the roadway and entered a private driveway. The vehicle damaged a gate at the end of the driveway and then continued down the private driveway and entered the lawn area damaging it.
Young finally stopped the vehicle once he came to the edge of a wooded area. He was then taken into custody.
Upon investigating police learned Young was wanted out of Erie County, Pennsylvania for failure to appear.
The subject was arraigned in Mina court on being a fugitive from justice along with various other charges. Additional charges are pending in New York along with various Pennsylvania charges which will be forthcoming.
