Scott Depot Man Leads Police On Chase

{Nitro, West Virginia}...Putnam County Sheriff's Deputies say they received a complaint early Wednesday morning that 23 year old Corey Dalton of Scott Depot had pushed a man to the ground on Crooked Creek Road. The man, who was holding his 3 year old daughter, was apparently trying to gesture to Dalton to slow down when Dalton allegedly got out of his car, yelled at the man and grabbed him by the throat. Police tried to stop Dalton at the intersection of Pickens Road and McJunkin Road in Nitro. As they approached Dalton's vehicle, he sped off and headed east on Interstate 64, leading police on a chase from Nitro to Cross Lanes with speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. Dalton took the Cross Lanes exit but crashed his vehicle into a tree and then got out of his vehicle and fled on foot. After about 200 yards, police caught Dalton.
