TUPELO - Two high-speed pursuits in two weeks proved to be one too many for an Okolona man.
Tupelo police officers attempted to pull over a vehicle on Nov. 26 on Eason Boulevard for a routine traffic stop for an equipment violation. Instead of complying and pulling over, the driver sped away at high speed, passing other vehicles and using the shoulder of the road and the median. The pursuit was ultimately canceled because of safety concerns for other drivers.
