An Indiana man was charged following a pursuit in eastern Indiana County on Sunday.
State police say at 12:55 a.m., 19-year-old Richard Bowman engaged in a chase after failing to yield for a traffic stop near Route 403 South in Cherryhill Township. Troopers say the chase started there and continued onto School Road in neighboring Pine Township, where he allegedly struck three fence posts near the southbound lane, returning to the roadway shortly after.
Bowman continued onto Route 403 North in Alverda — reaching speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour — and he attempted to turn right onto Tipperary Road but slid off the roadway. After troopers apprehended him, they found eight long rifles in the backseat of his car, three of which were loaded.
Bowman faces third-degree felony charges of fleeing and eluding police, four counts of recklessly endangering another person, three counts of carrying a loaded weapon, and several vehicle code violations.
He was lodged in Indiana County Jail to await arraignment.
