Levy County man arrested after police chase
BRONSON, (AP) – Authorities say a 22-year-old man told investigators that he led them on a high-speed chase through two north Florida counties for fun.
According to the Levy County Sheriff’s Office, Philip Pennypacker is facing charges of high-speed fleeing and eluding and three counts of aggravated assault on law enforcement officers with a deadly weapon. He has been released on bond.
Deputies say Pennypacker led authorities on a chase that ended Thursday night in southern Levy County. According to a sheriff’s office report, Pennypacker told investigators: “Once I knew I was going to jail, I decided to have some fun.”
Pennypacker was arrested without incident after the car he was driving ran out of gas
