Springfield Man Leads Troopers on Late Night High-Speed Chase
High speed chases aren’t just for the big screen. At 1:06 a.m. a Springfield man stopped for speeding in Harvard drove away while the state trooper was speaking to him, according to State Police. The trooper returned to his car and pursued the 1998 Nissan Altima northbound on I-495 to Littleton, then southbound on I-495, eventually ending up on I-290 westbound.
The chase ended after troopers deployed a tire deflation device near exit 7 on I-290 westbound in Auburn, bringing the car to a safe stop. Dominic J. May, 20, of Springfield, was taken to the state police barracks in Leominster, where he was booked, State Police said.
State Police report finding an “ammunition feeding device’’ loaded with 10 .22-caliber rounds.
May was charged with failure to stop for the police, speeding, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, person under 21 in possession of alcohol, possession of ammunition without an FID card, and operating under the influence of drugs. He’ll be arraigned at the Clinton District Court Friday. Nobody was injured and no other vehicles or property were damaged in the pursuit.
