Washington Man Jailed After Police Chase

A Washington man was placed in the Washington County Jail after a police chase in South Strabane Township on New Year’s Eve.  State Police say 44-year-old Corey Talley is charged with fleeing and eluding after he fled a traffic stop.  Troopers say he traveled on Route 19, Locust Avenue and Wilson Avenue before crashing into a vehicle that was parked in the Washington Hospital parking lot.  Police say he abandoned his vehicle and took off on foot.  After police caught him, he was then jailed on a probation warrant and an unrelated robbery warrant that was issued Christmas Day.
