Drone aids in capture of suspect after chase spanning several Massachusetts highways

Mohamed Jalloh was arrested early Tuesday morning after a high-speed chase that spanned several Massachusetts highways. The pursuit began around 2:30 a. m. when Jalloh failed to stop for police on Route 24 South in Brockton. Despite tire deflation devices deployed by troopers, he continued driving, eventually losing control and crashing on Interstate 95.

A drone unit from the Rhode Island State Police played a crucial role in locating Jalloh, who fled on foot into a wooded area. Troopers detained his passenger at the scene. Jalloh was arrested shortly after 4 a. m. and faces multiple charges, including failure to stop for police and negligent operation of a motor vehicle.

This incident underscores the importance of inter-agency cooperation in law enforcement. Such high-speed pursuits pose significant risks to public safety and highlight the need for effective response strategies.
