Utah Police Arrest Man After High Speed Chase, Man Then Vomits On Police

Saratoga Springs Police arrested a man after a high speed chase down Redwood Road.

Police received reports of a man driving recklessly, running red lights, and going into opposite lanes of on coming traffic.

According to the Daily Herald:

Police stopped the driver, Michael Hardy, who had a warrant from the U.S. Marshal’s Office for probation violation, reports state.

Hardy, 45, was allegedly in possession of nine stolen credit cards, driver’s licenses, several syringes of what officers believe to be methamphetamine mixed with blood and marijuana.

When police attempted to put Hardy in the back of the vehicle, Hardy refused, kicking one officer and spitting vomit on another officer’s face, reports state.

Hardy was taken to the Utah County Jail and charged with:

• one second-degree felony of receiving a stolen vehicle
• one third-degree felony of failing to stop at command of police
• nine third-degree felonies of unlawful possession of a financial card
• two third-degree felonies of theft by receiving stolen property
