Chase shuts down Balsley Road, ends in flipped truck

The Augusta County Sheriff's Office said in a release that it received a report of a disorderly male along the 200 block of Balsley Road and deputies responded at approximately 8 a.m. Friday.

When deputies arrived on scene, the Sheriff's Office reported that the male suspect was attempting to leave in a 2002 Chevy truck. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, per the release, but the driver refused to stop, and a pursuit ensued.

Additional deputies responded, established a perimeter, and closed down Balsley Road, the Sheriff's Office said. Upon release, the suspect vehicle drove onto several adjacent properties, attempting to evade law enforcement before returning to its own property. Tire deflation devices were used in an attempt to disable the vehicle, and the suspect ultimately flipped the truck onto its side on private property, per the Sheriff's Office.
