ABERDEEN, S.D. (Hub City Radio)-

On Monday, the Brown County deputies stopped a vehicle near Bath on a routine traffic stop.

The driver of the vehicle, Robert Fawley of Indiana,  immediately after being stopped drove off and a high speed chase occurred on U.S. HWY 12 eastbound.

Upon crossing the border into Day County, spikes were placed on the road and would end up disabling the vehicle near Bristol.  Fawley was arrested there and now charged with numerous crimes.  Fawley also had a warrant out for his arrest in Indiana.

No injuries to any law enforcement during the pursuit.

Agencies helping include the Aberdeen S.W.A.T. and South Dakota Highway Patrol who convinced Fawley to surrender once the vehicle was disabled.  Other agencies include the Brown and Day County Sheriff’s Offices, Aberdeen, Groton, & Webster Police Departments, and the South Dakota Game, Fish, and Park Department.

The incident lasted almost 2 1/2 hours.
