Lifted Chevy Tahoe Runs From Police

Read the full story on The Auto Wire We've seen some dumb choices for getaway vehicles before, but this lifted Chevy Tahoe might be the worst one yet. The suspect decided to use the top-heavy, unsteady SUV to do a drive-by shooting in Columbus, Ohio, then ran from a swarm of police as they responded to the you can see in the included dashcam footage, the tall profile of the vehicle made it super easy for officers to spot it. Even though the initial 911 caller said it was a Ford SUV, police didn't struggle to realize it was in fact a Tahoe. When police first caught up with the guy, he just stopped at a red light with the rest of traffic, giving time for multiple cruisers to amass behind him. Maybe it's his first time running from cops? While we think his vehicle choice is weird for a police chase, it's his personal ride. We guess it would be a great option for going off-roading and getting away from your pursuers. The closest he gets to that is driving over a sidewalk and some grass. But police in Columbus, Ohio have a policy that they don't PIT high-centered vehicles like SUVs, except in deadly force situations. We doubt this guy knows that. Instead, they start making preparations to spike those massive tires. In the meantime, the suspect keeps leaning out the driver's window, taunting police. He probably thinks they're powerless to stop his manly ride with a butterfly sticker on the back glass. The Tahoe isn't nearly fast enough to outrun the Ford Police Interceptors, which is truly sad. All he's doing is just burning up gas until something ends the chase. Police try boxing the SUV in when he stops a couple of times, but those massive tires allow him to just shrug the cruisers off. After he drives through an elementary school and past a couple of school buses loaded with kids, the gloves come off and an officer hits the Tahoe in a brutally effective T-bone. The extremely top-heavy Chevy flips onto its roof like a dead cockroach. They guy who just a moment before was taunting police suddenly was crying for help as he was stuck in the overturned SUV. He's not such a tough guy once his lifted truck trapped him, that's for sure. Image via Midwest Safety/YouTube Join our Newsletter, subscribe to our YouTube page, and follow us on Facebook.

Penn Hills man charged with leading police on chase while DUI with 2-year-old on lap

A Penn Hills man was arrested after allegedly leading police on a high-speed pursuit from Monroeville to Pittsburgh while a 2-year-old was sitting on his lap. According to law enforcement, it all began on Center Street in Monroeville. When it was all said and done, it would involve a chase some 10.3 miles, lasting 17 minutes, three police agencies, a man allegedly driving drunk carrying a large amount of cocaine, a PFA and a 2-year-old child. According to court records, a Monroville police officer saw a white BMW fly past him along Center Street. The officer followed the vehicle to a Speedway gas station at the intersection of Center and Old William Penn Highway. The driver, later identified as Daniel S. Chisolm, was at the gas pump and saw the police car pull up. Police say he took off along William Penn Highway, reaching speeds of 70 mph, but was soon boxed in by traffic. According to police, the officer was able to get behind Chisolm by construction on Old William Penn near an overpass. Police said the officer told Chisolm to turn off the car and throw the keys out the window. The officer noticed there was a child on Chisolm's lap. Police said the whole incident lasted about one and a half minutes, during which the officer tried to talk to Chisolm but said Chisolm was making no sense. A couple of seconds later, Chisolm took off again. The officer reported that Chisolm appeared to be intoxicated. Approaching Thompson Run Road, police say Chisolm, with the child sitting on his lap, was allegedly driving 70-plus mph in a 35 mph zone, at times nearly clipping the guardrails and nearly hitting oncoming traffic. Penn Hills officers then joined the chase along with Pittsburgh police, but terminated the pursuit due to safety concerns. Officers did, however, continue to follow Chisolm, who slowed down as he entered the Lincoln Lemington section of Pittsburgh. The pursuit finally came to an end along Wiltsie Street, and when he was finally removed from the car, police found a large amount of suspected cocaine in his front pocket, and he was also carrying his 2-year-old child. The child was OK and was given to his mother, who lives nearby. According to police, the mother of the child also had a protection from abuse order against Chisolm. He told police he was under the influence of marijuana, cocaine and alcohol. Chisolm is being held in the Allegheny County Jail, facing a long list of charges including endangering the welfare of a child, driving under the influence, drug possession and 11 other counts.
