BUTTE, Mont. (AP) —A Butte man who told officers he instigated a police chase because he always wanted to try it found out it’ll cost him a $1,000 fine to go with his tire damage.
The Montana Standard in Butte reports 55-year-old John C. Hughes pleaded guilty Thursday in City Court to reckless driving while eluding a peace officer.
Officers say Hughes was traveling faster than 100 mph on the interstate before officers laid out a spike strip to flatten his tires.
