Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop; however, the vehicle failed to stop. Officers followed the driver for a short distance but were forced to disengage when the situation became too dangerous for other road users.

As a result of the investigation, it was determined that the driver was impaired.

� Operation while impaired � alcohol and drugs

� Dangerous operation � two counts

� Flight from peace officer � two counts
