FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — A suspect is in custody after a police chase on the Mass. Pike early Thursday morning. Just before 7:30 a.m. Mass State Police Trooper surrounded a vehicle on I-90 in Framingham following a pursuit.
State Police said troopers attempted to pull the vehicle over for expired registration, but the driver refused to stop.
The suspect, Joseph Lyman, 46, of Monterey, Mass. is being charged with driving an unregistered motor vehicle, failure to stop for police, failure to use turn signals, and refusing to identify himself to police. Lyman will be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court on Thursday.
Ariel video showed at least a dozen cruisers blocking the westbound side of Mass. Pike approaching a black 2019 Kia Sorrento stopped in the middle of the highway.
The initial reason for stopping Lyman was after a failure to use a turn signal and the vehicle’s expired registration. Lyman refused to stop and continued to drive westbound at excessive speeds.
Troopers deployed a tire deflation device ahead of Lyman causing his vehicle to come to a stop. Troopers took Lyman into custody without incident.
He declined medical attention. No injuries were reported.
This is a series of multiple police pursuits across the state over the past week. Wednesday morning, a man wanted in two states was arrested following a high-speed chase on the Pike in Western Mass.
Over a week ago, Ian Grant was arrested for charges after a multi-state police chase that started in Massachusetts and ended in Connecticut.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
