A Maryland man was ordered to serve time in Indiana County Jail for leading police on a chase in Blairsville Borough earlier this year.
Court documents show 26-year-old Diymon Womble of Hagerstown pleaded guilty to charges of flight to avoid apprehension, fleeing or attempting to elude police, evading arrest or detention on foot, and reckless endangerment for an incident on March 24th in Blairsville. Borough police on that day saw him getting into his car on Veterans Drive. He was wanted on a warrant out of Cambria County. When police tried to stop him near a gas station on Villa Road and Route 22, Womble took off and lead police on a chase that ended on East Brown Street and Grandview Avenue when he lost control of his vehicle and hit a utility pole and some hedges. He then went on a foot chase and was taken into custody at a home on Veterans Drive.
For the charges of flight to avoid apprehension and evading arrest, Womble was ordered to serve three months to a day less than two years in Indiana County Jail. For the fleeing charge, he will serve six months to a day less than two years in jail and three years of probation. For the charge of reckless endangerment, he will serve two years of probation.
