MACON COUNTY, Ill. (WCIA) — Macon County’s Sheriff is calling a recent police chase “one for the record books” because the offending vehicle was, of all things, a forklift.
The low-speed chase happened Wednesday night. Deputies chased a man driving a forklift from Warrensburg to Decatur, a distance of 10 miles, for almost an hour-and-a-half.
Sheriff Jim Root said his deputies have chased golf carts before, but never a forklift.
The chase eventually ended with the forklift driver being arrested. They are facing charges of aggravated fleeing and eluding and disobeying traffic signs.
