A Roanoke Rapids man who led an officer on a chase through the mill village last week is scheduled for an April 27 court date.

Ricardo Coleman faces charges of flee to elude arrest, failure to stop for blue light and siren, speeding, reckless driving, failure to yield for a stop sign, driving while license revoked and no liability insurance.

Captain Andy Jackson of the Roanoke Rapids Police Department said the chase began around 3:30 p.m. when narcotics Agent Jamie Hardy was patrolling the 300 block of the mill village around Madison Street April 5.

He spotted Coleman, who he knew was driving on a revoked license, and turned on his blue lights to stop him.

Coleman allegedly accelerated and Hardy followed him with siren on. Coleman led Hardy through the areas of Taylor Street at speeds of more than 60 miles per hour before Hardy gave up the chase.

Hardy obtained warrants for his arrest and Coleman was arrested the next day.
