EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A car chased ended with an apprehension of its driver Friday evening.
Lt. Ray Blinn reported that Jamique Whitely, 22, of 4 Cathedral Square, Providence, was taken into custody and charged with reckless driving, eluding police and possession of a synthetic narcotic.
Blinn said police got calls around 6:45 p.m. describing a car operated recklessly on Pawtucket Avenue.
He said Officer Dennis Medeiros spotted the vehicle after it drove on the wrong side of the road, and gave chase.
The fugitive vehicle sideswiped a stopped car on Pawtucket Avenue and finally halted near the Route 195 on-ramp, Blinn said.
Police were making arrangements to have Whitely brought before a bail commissioner Friday evening.
