Winston Police charged a man following an alleged elude incident on Monday night.

Sergeant Mike Miller said at just before 10:30 p.m. an officer had a vehicle pass him at just over 100 miles-per-hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone, in the area of Lookingglass Road and Abraham Avenue. Miller said the officer began pursuing the vehicle. It continued to speed down Lookingglass Road near Timothy before pulling into a driveway and stopping.

The driver, Robert Blue, and a passenger were detained without incident. The report said Blue admitted that he saw the officer the whole time but only stopped because the passenger told him to.

The man was arrested for DUII, reckless endangering and attempt to elude.
