UTAH COUNTY — One man is in custody after a police pursuit that spanned several cities in Utah County.
Officers say they tried to stop a driver around 11 p.m. Wednesday in American Fork for a missing license plate, but the driver sped off onto I-15.
Later, he exited the freeway in Pleasant Grove and drove into Lindon, where police say he eventually crashed the car into a tree around 20 South and 800 East.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Ernest Hartman, 50, was taken into custody. As police searched his car after the crash, they discovered drug paraphernalia, which will likely add to the list of charges he’s facing.
