A juvenile was arrested Sunday afternoon following a high-speed pursuit in Perry County. Around 1:22 p.m. Central, a deputy with the Perry County Sheriff’s Office was patrolling near State Road 37 and State Road 145 when they observed a black Dodge Charger traveling 81 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone.
The deputy attempted to conduct a traffic stop, but the driver refused to pull over and accelerated, leading officers on a pursuit through the area. The chase continued onto State Road 237 and ended near Scotchpine Road, where the vehicle came to a stop.
The juvenile driver was taken into custody without further incident. Authorities say the suspect has been charged with resisting law enforcement with a motor vehicle, reckless driving, and operating a motor vehicle without ever obtaining a license.
No injuries or crashes were reported during the pursuit. The Perry County Sheriff’s Office emphasized that maintaining public safety remains their top priority.
