Amish Buggy Involved in Police Chase
posted 3:49 pm Fri December 07, 2007 - Honey Brook, Chester County
A simple traffic stop in Chester County ended up involving a buggy and a truck before police captured a man wanted on warrants from three counties. State police say a trooper tried to pull a car over Thursday on Route 322 but the driver took off, drove into a parking lot, abandoned the vehicle and ran through neighborhoods and fields.
He jumped into a moving Amish buggy, but jumped out when troopers closed in and ran into a cornfield.
Then a motorist in a dry wall truck offered troopers a lift and they surrounded the man in the cornfield.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua McElyea, of Narvon, was jailed in lieu of $25,000 bail. Police say he's wanted for theft and criminal mischief in Chester County, burglary and assault in Berks County, and a probation violation in Lancaster County.
