Police maneuver ends chase
WORTH TWP — A suspected drugged driver was arrested Wednesday morning after state police say a trooper used a pursuit intervention technique, or PIT maneuver, to end a 20-mile chase over two counties.
Raymond C. Mistelske, 44, of Grove City is accused of deliberately hitting the same trooper's marked patrol car earlier in the chase, which ended in a crash on Interstate 79 in northern Butler County, according to investigators.
He was arraigned on charges of aggravated assault, driving under the influence of a controlled substance, reckless endangerment, resisting arrest, fleeing or attempting to elude police and six traffic violations and was placed in Mercer County Prison on $25,000 bail.
