(Enid, OK) Two men are in police custody following a chase that spanned across Enid, causing many disturbances to other drivers.
According to the report from the Enid Police Department, Officer Roberto Norton recognized a maroon Chevrolet S10, as reference to two separate cases, after it turned from Garriott Rd. north onto 10th St.
The vehicle was driven by 18-year-old Talon Montgomery with 19-year-old Zane Cates also in the vehicle. Montgomery failed to stop behind the white stop line at 10th and Broadway and stopped in the intersection, according to the report.
Officer Norton activated his overhead lights to initiate a traffic stop, and the vehicle accelerated east on Broadway and north on 11th, at which point Norton activated the siren. From 11th, Montgomery turned west onto Randolph, running the stop sign at 10th and Randolph. Montgomery turned north onto 5th and then west on Elm, going across Grand and Van Buren, according to the report.
Montgomery turned onto Polk and ran the stop sign at Maple and again at James, then turned east onto Randolph, north onto Quincy and west onto Oak before going north on Van Buren, according to the report. Officer Jacob McKinley became the secondary officer in the pursuit.
As Montgomery approached Willow, he crossed the Van Buren median and drove northbound into oncoming traffic going southbound, according to the report. The vehicle entered the High Point RV Park and turned south on Garland.
Montgomery entered the Harbor Freight parking lot, exited north onto Oakwood and then east to Randolph, where the truck ran a car off the road, according to the report. At Johnson, the vehicle entered James eastbound in the wrong lane.
The vehicle went north on Jackson and continued to Oak, where Cates fled the vehicle to a home in the 800 block of W. Walnut. Police later found Cates hiding inside a closet in the home, and while this was ongoing, two other officers located Montgomery after a brief pursuit on foot.
Officers found Cates had approximately 3.3 grams of a white crystalline substance with a similar appearance to methamphetamine, according to the report, along with a digital scale. Later, the EPD was told about a marijuana container with eight unused clear zip lock baggies that were found inside a gym bag that Cates had been carrying when he attempted to flee, according to the report.
At the vehicle, officers found a passport belonging to Montgomery and with a debit card that did not belong to neither passenger. Also found was a glass pipe, several broken pipes and a prescription container that contained approximately eight capsules marked CP over 405 50 mg, later identified as Methylphenidate Hydrochloride Extended Release 50 mg, according to the report. Methylphenidate is labeled as a Schedule 2 narcotic in the Oklahoma Controlled Dangerous Substances Act.
Montgomery was arrested on complaints of eluding and resisting a police officer, possession of controlled substance, driving without a license, and stopping in a crosswalk, and his bond was set at $25,000.
Cates was arrested on counts of obstructing an officer, possession with intent and possession of paraphernalia, and distribution of controlled substance. Bond set at $12,500. He also had a warrant out for carrying or possessing a firearm after delinquent adjudication and knowingly receiving or concealing stolen property, with that bond set at $8,000.
