Cops said that a vehicle was reported stolen out of Bristol Twp. The car had a satellite tracking device installed in it and cops were able to track it to the Home Depot store in Tullytown. A cop from Tullytown saw the car and tried to stop it. The driver reversed and slammed into some light poles. Before he could speed off, a rear seat passenger, identified as Tevon Hall got out and ran. He was arrested after a brief foot chase. meanwhile, other cops were in pursuit of the car through Bristol Twp. as the vehicle reached speeds of about 100 MPH.
Cops knew that at least one of the males was armed with a gun because a citizen complained that the vehicle cut them off in a road rage incident and one of the occupants displayed a handgun. As the vehicle ran off the road on Green Lane in Bristol Twp, it struck a pole. The driver, identified as Rodney Beatty , 26 of Bristol Twp. was arrested after he was pepper sprayed for failure to comply. The other passenger, Zahreldick hunt, 18, fled on foot and pointed his pistol at cops before dropping it as he ran.
