Summary
A 74-year-old man, Armando Deleon, is facing multiple felony charges after a terrifying high-speed chase on the Bourne Bridge, where he allegedly drove over 100 mph the wrong way, nearly hitting first responders and a patient on a stretcher. Police were responding to a medical emergency when Deleon’s erratic driving forced them to abandon the pursuit for safety. He later barricaded himself in his home, leading to a forced entry by officers. Charges include obstructing emergency vehicles, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, assault with a dangerous weapon, resisting arrest, and assaulting an officer — plus possession of a controlled substance. A judge deemed him a flight risk and ordered him held without bail. His next court date is next month. Authorities praised the swift, coordinated response that prevented further tragedy.
