A three state police chase that, at times, reached nearly 100 mph, ended Friday with 35 year old Teddy Arrington, Jr. of Chesapeake, Ohio behind bars. The pursuit started late Friday morning on I-64 when Ceredo Police Officer S.D. Brody tried to stop Arrington for a minor traffic violation. That's when police also found that Arrington had a license tag on his Mazda that came back to a Volkswagon. Arrington took off on I-64 heading West before he exited the interstate at Catlettsburg, Kentucky but immediately got back on heading back into West Virginia. Arrington exited the interstate again at the 5th Street exit in Huntignton. While turning around, he blew out his right rear tire but then got back on the interstate heading West before getting off at the West 17th Street exit. The chase continued into Ohio, where Arrington headed down U.S. 52 and turned onto Buffalo Creek Road. About a mile out that road, he ditched the car and fled on foot before being taken into custody by the Lawrence County Sheriff's Department. In West Virginia, he faces charges of reckless driving and felony fleeing. He also has outstanding warrants out of Lawrence County, Ohio for breaking and entering.
