SCRANTON, Pa. (WBNG) \u2014 One man was arrested on Tuesday following a chase that crossed state lines and involved numerous police agencies, according to information from Pennsylvania State Police. <\/p>\n
Around 9:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 17, Pennsylvania State Troopers were notified by the Broome County dispatch center of a chase happening in the county. <\/p>\n
Police in New York were called out to a reported domestic disturbance call involving gunfire that turned into a police pursuit. The suspect left the scene of the dispute in a black sedan. The individual later didn\u2019t stop for the police when they tried to pull his car over. <\/p>\n
The chase took police onto Interstate 81 south in New York before going into Pennsylvania, where Pennsylvania State Troopers joined the chase. <\/p>\n
PA State Police took over the chase once it went into Pennsylvania, where troopers said they traveled at high speeds to keep up with the suspect. <\/p>\n
During the chase, the suspect nearly caused numerous crashes and even hit a tractor-trailer. Troopers tried several times to stop the vehicle with spike strips, but failed. The chase continued south into Susquehanna County before crossing into Lackawanna County, where more troopers got involved. <\/p>\n
The suspect made it to Scranton on I-81 before troopers were finally able to stop the car with a PIT maneuver, troopers said. <\/p>\n
The male suspect was taken into custody, and the vehicle was taken to the trooper barracks in Dunmore for processing. <\/p>\n
The suspect had prior convictions in New York for criminal possession of a weapon. <\/p>\n
More charges are pending, and the investigation into the incident is ongoing. A search warrant was requested for the vehicle, troopers said. <\/p>\n
