18-year-old Julian Thompson was seen speeding in a black Ford Mustang on North Woodson Road on July 17th. Officers observed this using a lidar and recorded Thompson driving 50 mph in a 25 mph zone. Officers were able to catch up with the Mustang and activate their emergency lights. Despite this, the Mustang continued to speed off, leading to a chase. During the chase, the Mustang was observed crossing the yellow lane to pass two cars and then speeding off again. As officers tried to obtain the vehicle’s tag numbers, Thompson lost control and went airborne, striking a telephone pole. After Thompson was escorted out of his car, he was transported to Skyline Medical and then taken into custody for evading arrest and reckless driving.
