Ammon Man to Serve Prison for High Speed Chase
Published at | Updated at(AMMON, ID) – An Ammon man will serve six-and-a-half years in prison for leading police on a high speed chase earlier this year. Nineteen-year-old Matthew McGregor reportedly had three children in the car with him when he engaged officers in a pursuit through Idaho Falls at speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. The chase happened August 5 following a hit-and-run for which McGregor was responsible. McGregor eventually abandoned the car and fled on foot before he was arrested. Prosecutors say McGregor was fortunate that his actions did not result in any serious injuries.
