According to police, troopers from the Williston Barracks spotted the vehicle traveling in excess of 100 mph in Bolton. The driver, identified as Duche Romeus, evaded police by weaving through traffic, and officers halted the pursuit over safety concerns. The vehicle continued northbound to the Highgate Port of Entry, where Canadian customs detained Romeus after he was denied entry into Canada.
Upon his return to the U.S., Romeus was arrested and charged with three counts of eluding in a grossly negligent manner, grossly negligent operation, and several civil traffic violations.
