Man Charged In Weekend Chase And Crash In Northeast Springfield

Charges have been filed against a man who police say stole two cars and crashed into two vehicles in northeast Springfield Saturday evening.

Blake Neill, 30, is charged with driving while intoxicated, two accounts of vehicle tampering, leaving the scene of an accident, and resisting arrest.

Authorities allege that Neill was driving intoxicated in a stolen vehicle late at night and that they had to follow him with a helicopter and blow his tires to get him to stop. Neill then allegedly ran and stole a Coca Cola truck and crashed it into two other cars, injuring one person before being arrested.

It happened near Packer Road and Kearney.

A passenger was also arrested with Neill, but charges have not been filed.
