Stop sticks were required to end a police chase south of Iowa City late Saturday night.
According to the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, a 2013 Ford sedan was stopped for multiple lane violations on northbound Highway 218 just after 11:00. The driver then drove off, leading to a pursuit that lasted three miles before ending just south of the Old Highway 218 exit a few minutes later when stop sticks were deployed.
The driver of the sedan, 31-year-old Thomas Nkuyubwatsi of Rock Island, is charged with Eluding. If convicted, he faces up to one year in jail.
