A 34-year-old Taunton man is facing a Massachusetts OUI charge and other traffic violations after allegedly leading police on a high-speed chase, the Taunton Gazette reported.
Kevin Fisher, of 12 Cooper St., is accused of running a red light on Route 138 in Easton before leading police on a chase that reached speeds of more than 100 mph. Police say when they finally managed to pull him over, he was drinking a can of Natural Ice beer.
Authorities deployed stop sticks to deflate the tires of his Ford pickup and he was stopped on Manley Street in West Bridgewater. Police accuse him of refusing to exit the vehicle and of attempting to punch officers during his arrest.
He was arraigned in Taunton District Court on charges of operating under the influence of alcohol, negligent operation, failure to stop for police and resisting arrest.
Fisher was being held in lieu of $25,000 cash bail. Court records indicate he has a history of not appearing for court. He is due back in court on December 9.
