A 20-year-old Polk man is facing felony charges after police say he led officers on a high-speed pursuit through Clarion Borough and surrounding highways in a stolen vehicle, reaching speeds of more than 100 mph.
According to ExxploreClarion.Com, Jayden Mitchell Myers fled a traffic stop on Dec. 2, 2024, after failing to stop at a stop sign, accelerating through borough streets and onto Route 68 before police terminated the chase due to speed and weather conditions. The vehicle was later found abandoned and reported stolen, and investigators say Myers admitted to taking the car, turning off its lights to avoid detection, fleeing on foot, and driving without a license.
Myers is charged with felony fleeing and eluding and multiple related offenses and is awaiting a preliminary hearing.
