Driver Eludes Greenwich Police At High Speeds: PD

GREENWICH, CT — A New Haven man was arrested on a warrant Wednesday in connection to a reckless driving incident last month, according to police. On Jan. 17, officers noticed Jerrell Brodie, 22, driving a vehicle with a "heavily tinted rear license plate attachment" that blocked the view of the vehicle's registration plate, police said in a statement.

Officers turned on their emergency lights and siren in an attempt to stop the vehicle, police said.

"Brodie failed to stop and continued traveling at an extremely high rate of speed, overtaking several vehicles in an attempt to elude officers," police said in a statement.

According to police, officers saw the vehicle drive through a red light, then "make a prohibited lane change without using turn signals, and [cross] the double yellow line," entering into oncoming traffic.

Due to safety concerns, officers did not pursue the vehicle, police said.

Brodie was charged with reckless driving, failure to drive in proper lane, improper turn, disobeying the signal of an officer, failure to display plate/sticker, traffic control signals and operation of a motor vehicle under suspension.
