Tractor Chase Leads to Arrest

A Galesburg man faces charges in two counties after the tractor he was driving allegedly got into an accident with a car in Galesburg.


Galesburg Police say the accident happened late Sunday night at the intersection of Henderson and Main Streets, when the driver of an S-U-V told police he was hit by a blue tractor with two spears on the front of it.


Police say the tractor fled the scene, and after giving chase, was allegedly found later in Warren County by Sheriffs Deputies there on Angling Road about a half-mile east of 155th Street.


Officers say after being ticketed for Driving on a Revoked License in Warren County, 48-year old Scott Price was arrested on Knox County charges of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Aggravated D-U-I, Failure to Yield While Turning Left, and Leaving the Scene of an Accident.


Police say Price failed a field sobriety test, and refused a breathalyzer test.


Price is being held in the Knox County jail on 15-thousand dollars bond and will make a court appearance Friday with a Public Defender.
