Officers attempted to make a traffic stop but Taylor ignored their lights and sirens and drove through the 1800 block of Lincoln Highway East, eventually stopping on South Eastland Drive, the police said.
Taylor then arrested on charges of fleeing or attempting to elude police— which should have been the end of the story, but while he was being prepared to be taken to his preliminary arraignment, at the East Lampeter Township Police station, he allegedly assaulted the officer trying to put on his handcuffs, according to the police.

He also has been charged with a misdemeanor for an accident involving damage of attended vehicle or property, and two summary offenses of failure to stop at red signal, and driving while the operator's privilege was suspend or revoked, in Lancaster City on April 7, 2023, according to another court docket.
