DOTHAN: 2:19 PM Dothan Police Patrol activated his blue lights and the person in front of the blue lights made a conscious decision not to obey them and took off.
In Alabama the charge Attempt To Elude can be a felony offense.
2:19 PM The vehicle turned off West Mead onto Edgewood and was traveling about 60 miles per hour. TRAFFIC OFFENSE – SPEED
2:19 PM The vehicle turned right on Selma Street and was passing Alpine Street.
2:20 PM The vehicle failed to stop at traffic signal at Park and Selma Street, blowing the red light. TRAFFIC OFFENSE – RUNNING A RED LIGHT

2:21 PM The vehicle stops on North Park. Dothan Police Patrol is attempting to take into custody.

So now, this STUPID DRIVER has probably got himself or herself a felony for Eluding Police Officer, a speeding ticket for 60 miles per hour, running a red light at Park and Selma, running a stop sign at Deborah and Park, and speeding on North Park. The driver could possibly be charged with reckless endangerment for the traffic light and stop signs because he/she created a substantial risk of serious physical injury or death in running the red light and stop signs. Possibly have running a stop sign at Edgewood and Fortner, and Edgewood and Park. And this person has a wrecker bill because the vehicle was towed.
Perhaps if he/she stopped they would have been given a warning or one ticket. Being stupid, oh well.
CHASE ENDED, no one injured and driver in custody.
