MASON, W.Va. (WCHS) — A vehicle pursuit in Mason County led to a felony charge being filed against a driver on Tuesday evening, police said.
Michael Robert Divincenzo, 56, has been charged with fleeing with reckless indifference, according to a social media post from the Mason Police Department.
The post said shortly before 8 p.m., police attempted to make a traffic stop after spotting Divincezo, who had previous licensure violations, driving in Mason.
“The suspect allegedly drove recklessly through several areas of the city, including traveling through a red traffic light at the intersection of Second Street and Mallard Lane and nearly striking another vehicle,” the post said. “The suspect also allegedly attempted to maneuver around a stopped vehicle near Ohio River Road, nearly causing multiple collisions, including entering the opposite lane of travel through oncoming traffic.”
Police said the pursuit ended near the intersection of Mason and Columbia streets where Divincenzo was apprehended and the vehicle was towed.
Divincenzo is being held at Western Regional Jail on a $25,000 surety/cash bail.
