Conestoga Teen Arrested for Reckless Driving

Brandon Jones (18) of Conestoga was arrested for Reckless Driving and Fleeing from Police late this evening. Jones was said to have been reaching speeds of 85 plus miles per hour in a 1969 Dodge Challenger. Police say Jones flew past an officer on Main Street Conestoga and attempted to pull Jones over when quoted, ” I heard him downshift and hit the gas”, and fled from the police until later crashing into a telephone pole on Run Valley Road Conestoga. Jones survived the crash with no injuries, he was charged with Reckless Driving and Fleeing from Police and was detained and will be on trial later this week. Officers remind drivers that the road is not a playground and driving erratically is not taken lightly.
