(Chippewa Township, Pa) At 4 p.m. Monday, Chippewa Township Police were engaged in a high speed pursuit of a white BMW that ended in South Beaver Township. Police Chief Eric Hermick said one of his patrol officers observed the vehicle, stopped it, and saw drugs in plain view. The operator then fled the scene. The pursuit had to be called off  due to schools being dismissed. Chief Hermick said South Beaver got a call  that the vehicle operator Trezeir Epps, 23 of New Castle, PA, struck a tree in front of a house, and fled into the woods. The pursuit began at 10 pm. Police then set up a perimeter, using multiple k-9’s drones, and manpower, trapping him at a house on Route 51 at Bradford Drive. Epps threw a duffle bag into the woods, and police are searching for it  with the help of drones and k-9’s.
