A Fairport man speeding away from police on Interstate 390 in Livingston County Saturday was charged after police laid spike strips near Dansville.
State police attempted to pull over Michael Eason, 21, for reaching a speed of around 83 mph while driving southbound on I-390 at around 5:50 p.m. Eason failed to pull over even after emergency lights and sirens were deployed, and sped up to around 90 mph, according to a police release.
Police laid spike strips at Exit 5, which flattened Eason's passenger side tires.
Eason kept driving and came into contact with another police vehicle before stopping in the village of Dansville. Police say he did not comply with police orders to get out of the car, and physically resisted arrest when police attempted to take him into custody. He was taken to the ground before allowing himself to be handcuffed.
Eason was charged with unlawful fleeing, resisting arrest, reckless endangerment, aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle and unlawful possession of marijuana.
