BROOK PARK, Ohio –
Fleeing & eluding, obstructing official business: Brookpark Road
Police are looking for a Cleveland man, 21, who fled from them at about 12:30 a.m. May 18 on Brookpark.
Police had pulled over the man’s Jeep Grand Cherokee on Brookpark near West 137th Street because only one of the Jeep’s headlight was working. Also, the temporary license plate had expired in April.
The man told police he didn’t have his wallet and driver’s license because they were in his other pants. He gave police a fake Social Security number and a fake name.
When police walked back to their cruiser, the man sped away in the Jeep. Police followed the Jeep as it traveled northbound on West 130th Street, where it swerved left of center. The man then entered Interstate 71 southbound and exited the freeway onto Snow Road, where he turned left in a right-turn-only lane.
The man drove onto I-71 northbound, Interstate 90 westbound and Interstate 490 westbound. He exited onto Opportunity Corridor and traveled 98 mph southbound on Kinsman Road, again drifting left of center. The man drove through a red light on Kinsman at East 93rd Street, his speed reaching 100 mph.
The man then sped down several side streets, failing to stop at stop signs. Then he pulled into a driveway on East 73rd Street. Everyone who was in the car jumped out and ran.
Police found the man’s wallet in the Jeep so they were able to identify him correctly. The Jeep was towed. Police issued a warrant for the man’s arrest.
Police talked to the man on the phone. He agreed to turn himself in, but had not yet done so when police filed their report.
