County Police ended the chase for safety reasons before Mumford was stopped and identified by the Lebanon City Police Department a short time later, authorities said.

Mumford was arrested and charged with felony eluding, as well as driving with a suspended license due to DUI, violation of the uniform firearms act, and other traffic offenses.
