COLUMBIANA (WKBN) - A New Springfield man is facing charges after police say they led them on a motorcycle chase last week.
Austin Bussey, 25, is charged with operation without regard for safety, driving under suspension, failure to comply with an order or signal of police and obstructing official business.
According to a police report, officers tried to pull Bussey over near state Route 7 and Heck Road April 26 for following too close.
As officers got close to Bussey, they say he took off abruptly and police followed, reaching speeds up to 100 miles per hour as they say Bussey blew through intersections and disregarded other drivers. At that point, the police terminated the pursuit.
With the help of a witness, police were able to track Bussey down to a local campground where he was arrested.
A preliminary hearing is set for May 6.
