A Butler man is accused of attempting to flee from police in Jefferson Township last weekend.
According to State Police, 32-year-old David Beilstein was driving 60 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone on Fisher Road Sunday just before 9 p.m. Police also observed Beilstein not completely stop at the intersection with Hannahstown Road.
At this point the trooper activated his lights and sirens but Beilstein allegedly continued to drive for another five miles.
Beilstein was charged with fleeing and resisting arrest. It is unknown why Beilstein failed to stop.
