Police Search for James Eley After High Speed Chase

Milton Police Department

MILTON, Del. (AP) - Police say they're looking for a man they say led them on a high-speed chase that reached speeds up to 90 mph.

Milton Police Department Chief Robert Longo said in a news release that authorities are looking for 31-year-old James Eley in connection to a high-speed chase Tuesday. Eley is charged with multiple offenses including aggressive driving and resisting arrest.

Authorities say they pulled Eley over for traveling without any lights. Police say when officers told him his license was suspended, he fled from the scene.

Officials say police discontinued the chase because Eley's actions were becoming dangerous to the public.
