Police: Tractor trailer driver arrested after 34 mile chase

A tractor-trailer driver threw items from his cab at police – including socks, shoes and a small refrigerator – as he led them on a 34-mile chase in western Pennsylvania, authorities said Sunday.

Police in Westmoreland County said a man called 911 just before 2 a.m. Saturday and said he planned to wreck his truck. Police said units pursued the truck on Route 70 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike while many items were tossed from the cab, including a steel canister that disabled a state police unit.

The tractor-trailer was stopped with spike strips and the driver subdued with a stun gun. Forty-seven-year-old Christopher Boyer of Mifflintown is charged with aggravated assault, DUI and other counts. Court documents indicate he had requested representation by the public defender’s office, which rang unanswered Sunday.
