MINERAL WELLS, WV (LOOTPRESS) – A California man has been arrested following a high-speed pursuit on I-77.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, Andrew Nathaniel Lewis of Berkley, California has been arrested in a sequence of events which began with a basic vehicle stop for a traffic infraction.
The Sheriff’s Department reports that Lewis was initially cooperative with the investigating deputy, providing his driver’s license and vehicle information before speeding off northbound on I-77 “carrying his payload of drugs with him.”
Repots indicate that Lewis was taken into custody without incident near the Mineral Wells area after being “spiked” – presumably alluding to the implementation of a spike strip in the puncturing of a vehicle’s tires – by deputies with the Wood County Department.
Andrew Nathaniel Lewis of Berkley California has been charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver and Fleeing.
