The New Castle Police Department is looking for Lucas Rubin, who they say led officers on a chase early Tuesday morning that resulted in a crash, injuring two people.
Police tell Channel 11 an officer tried to pull over Rubin around 1 a.m. because he had a prior warrant out for his arrest for felony forgery charges, but he sped off.
“It was a pretty extensive chase [that] went down through Taylor Township area and into Shenango Township. The officer reported the speeds between 50mph and 110mph at times,” said Chief David Cumo.
Rubin crashed behind the La Casa Personal Care home and caused a lot of damage.
“So glad none of the residents didn’t hit the building or none of the residents were hurt,” said Jennifer Smith.
There were two women in the car with Rubin who had minor injuries, including his wife Alexis Panella Rubin. Police arrested her for a prior bench warrant.
Rubin, however, ran off and got away. Smith said several residents were inside at the time and saw officers looking for him.
“They were looking for him around the building with flashlights and a lot of residents got scared and everything,” Smith said.
Cumo said police are still searching for him and want the community’s help.
“We don’t want anyone to engage him or anything. Just give us a call with the location. You can call anonymously and we can try to apprehend him,” Cumo said.
