A 21 year old Bartlesville man faces multiple charges in Washington County, Oklahoma, after leading police on a chase through Bartlesville.
Chase Morgan was pulled over on April 30th for erratic driving and was suspected of driving while intoxicated. Morgan denied drinking at the first inquiry from officers, but later admitted he’d indulged and also had an open container in the vehicle. Morgan then sped away while officers were still speaking with him.
Morgan sped through the Frank Phillips Blvd and Silver Lake Rd intersection and reached speeds of 85-90 MPH before eventually crashing into a tree. Morgan then fled the scene and was able to evade officers.
He was eventually picked up on multiple warrants last Tuesday. Morgan was already out on bound on a DUI charge from 2023 but had missed a court date causing another warrant to be issued. Altogether, he was given a $180,000 bond and his next court date is set for May 31st.
