The pursuit started when officers tried stopping a 2008 Nissan Altima near Memorial Drive at 11:37 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 17, Avon Police Chief Jeffrey Bukunt reports. The car was allegedly being driven without an inspection sticker.
The driver, later identified as Marvens Jean-Jacques, allegedly failed to stop for police and drove away over the speed limit, Bukunt said. The pursuit stopped after Jean-Jacques crossed into Brockton, but officers took down the car's registration.
Avon Police arrested Jean-Jacques on Kenneth Avenue in Brockton a short time later, Bukunt said. Officers also found an open container of alcohol inside Jean-Jacque's car. It was also determined that the Brockton man was driving with a suspended license, Bukunt added.
Jean-Jacques was charged with the following:
- Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
- Failure to Stop for Police
- Operating on a Suspended License (for Operating Under the Influence)
- Possession of an Open Container of Alcohol
- Speeding
- Marked Lanes Violation
- Uninspected Vehicle
Jean-Jacques was arraigned in Stoughton District Court on Wednesday, Bukunt said. He is expected to return to court on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
