A Greenfield man led police on a chase Saturday morning that led to a crash with another vehicle and his arrest on charges including drug possession, according to State Police.
Phillip Jacobsen, 29, allegedly evaded police pursuit around 9:15 a.m. after State Troopers tried to pull him over for traffic violations on Interstate 91 northbound before exit 26 in Greenfield, State Police said in a release.
Jacobsen left the interstate and allegedly crashed the 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier he was driving into another vehicle on the Route 2 rotary at exit 26, according to State Police. No one was injured in the collision.
Jacobsen then led troopers to a nearby residential street, where he left the car and fled on foot, said State Police Lieutenant Tom Ryan.
Troopers enlisted the help of Greenfield police, Franklin County Sheriff’s Office’s K-9 units and a State Police helicopter to search for the suspect.
“The helicopter happened to be up in the area flying a [separate] mission,” Ryan said.
Troopers in the State Police helicopter spotted Jacobsen just before 10 a.m. walking behind a commercial building just a few hundred feet from Interstate 91, Ryan said. State Police arrested him without incident, Ryan said.
Jacobsen was charged with operating under the influence, drugs; possession with intent to distribute class A, heroin; leaving the scene of a crash; operating after suspension; failure to produce registration; and various traffic violations.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Greenfield District Court.
