Two-State Police Chase on Friday

A Falconer man took police on a hour-long chase through New York and Pennsylvania Friday.

Chautauqua County Sheriff's deputies say they tried to pull over an SUV driven by 36-year-old James Silk at about 4:15 Friday afternoon in Lakewood after several other drivers reported that it was being driven erratically.

Silk fled, leading officers on a chase to Corry, PA. Back in French Creek, New York, police put spike strips on the road, which caused Silk to lose control of the vehicle and drive it off the road.

He attempted to flee on foot but police used a Taser on him. During the chase, Silk allegedly rammed a sheriff's vehicle. After his arrest he allegedly kneed a deputy in the face.

Silk is in Chautauqua County Jail.
