A man driving a stolen car in East Lyme is accused of refusing to stop when troopers tried to pull the car over for speeding on Wednesday.
According to the Connecticut State Police, troopers were doing a DUI roving patrol and motor vehicle enforcement when they saw a car traveling 88 mph in a 55 mph zone.
When troopers tried to stop the car, they said the driver refused to stop. Troopers also learned that the vehicle was reported stolen out of Middletown.
John Rogers, of Hartford, was operating the car, police said, and Staci Trudeau, of Moosup, reportedly stole the car.
According to the Connecticut State Police, an Old Lyme police officer deployed stop sticks, which disabled the vehicle, but Rogers continued driving before eventually being stopped in East Lyme by troopers near Exit 72 on I-95 south.
Throughout the course of the pursuit, Connecticut State Police said the suspect intentionally collided with two state police cruisers. No injuries were reported.
Rogers was on parole and as a result of this incident, was remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections, according to Connecticut State Police. Bond was set at $100,000 cash.
