On Dec 5th, 2022 an officer was in the area of 70 E when he noticed a black Chevy Impala going the opposite direction. Upon turning to follow the vehicle he found that it was traveling fast and was nearing the Eagle Food Mart. While watching the vehicle he found that it turned into the parking lot and was pulling to the rear of the store.
