WASHINGTON, Pa. — A Washington Man led police on a chase after a attempted break-in incident in Canton Township early Sunday morning. State Police say a 42-year-old female called authorities while her ex-boyfriend, identified as 54-year-old William Tyler, was attempting to gain entry to the woman’s home by hitting the front door at 619 Best Avenue. Before police arrived, Tyler fled the scene in a gold-colored 2003 Mercury. Troopers were able to find Tyler driving at a high rate of speed and did not stop when officials activated emergency lights and sirens. The suspect was unable to negotiate a turn and left the roadway on Jefferson Avenue at the intersection with Henderson Avenue. Tyler left the roadway, traveled onto and embankment and damaged a sign, railing as well as a parked vehicle according to police. Tyler reportedly fled the scene on foot after the crash, where he was later apprehended by the State Police, who say there was signs of impairment during the arrest. Tyler is currently being processed in the Washington County Jail.
