BUCKHANNON, W.Va. (WBOY) — A man was arrested over the weekend after he allegedly fled from law enforcement on a four-wheeler.

According to a post from the Upshur County Sheriff’s Office, deputies attempted to pull over an ATV on Stony Run Road near Brushy Fork on Saturday, July 22. Deputies recorded that the driver was going into the opposite lane of traffic and that they did not stop before making a left turn onto Brushy Fork Road.

According to the post, the driver, later identified as Isaac Prichard, 28, ignored law enforcement’s emergency lights and sirens and, instead, sped up.

Prichard continued at a high rate of speed past Stonecoal Road. During the chase, deputies said that the 2022 Can-AM Renegade XMR 1000 Prichard was driving reached as fast as 67 miles per hour.

Prichard was arrested after he stopped at a driveway about three miles away from where the chase originated. The post said that he failed a field sobriety test and blew a .130 BAC on a breathalyzer test.

Prichard is charged with fleeing while DUI and is being held in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail on $25,000 cash-only bail.

Pretty hard to out run a radio or a cell phone.

Very true

Ironic how some parts of the country still enforce the law. In New York you can assault or kill someone and never see the inside of a jail, or if you're a member of POTUS's clan, you can extort others financially or sell sensitive materials to our enemies while not running afoul with the land's highest law officials.

Wasn’t even close to getting off the blacktop so he never had a chance. He’ll be out by next week

I'd say he made a "Wrong Turn".

WV is generally a law and order state. This guy will probably be out on bail but if the article is accurate he'll be convicted, lose his driver license, and pay a hefty fine.

Someone forgot to tell this guy that his advantage comes in off-road.
