UP THE CREEK...

Shortly after midnight this morning, a Delaware man led WCPD and West Goshen officers on a foot chase through the Chester Creek and the surrounding neighborhood. Andre J. Rivera, 21, of Wilmington, was pulled over on a traffic stop by Ofc. A.J. McCarthy on the 300 block of East Market Street. Rivera then fled from the car on foot, at one point cutting across the Chester Creek near the area of Tolsdorf's Oil Lube Express. After several minutes, Rivera was apprehended and taken into custody. He faces charges of Escape, Driving with a Suspended License, Speeding, and Careless Driving. He was arraigned this morning in front of Judge Bruno and had his bail set at $7,500. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday in front of Judge Knapp (15-1-04, CR-0000317-07).
