(WPXI) – A man is facing charges after leading troopers on a chase in Washington County on Monday. A Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson says troopers tried serving a federal arrest warrant on Avery Turner Jr. as he was leaving a gas station in North Strabane Township. When the troopers identified themselves, they say he ran to his car that was in the gas station parking lot and drove away, intentionally ramming an unmarked police vehicle with a Trooper inside. The spokesperson says that during the chase, Turner hit two vehicles and a telephone pole at the intersection of North Main Street and Walnut Avenue within Washington. He then got out of the car and ran because a road was closed for construction. Turner was eventually taken into custody without incident. He is facing fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, among other charges.
