(Council Bluffs) A Council Bluffs man faces multiple charges following a pursuit Thursday evening.
The Council Bluffs Police Department says 57-year-old Jerry Dean Phipps has been charged with OWI 1st Offense, Eluding, Disobedience to Police Officer, Reckless Driving, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
At 9:00 p.m., officers stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation. The officer suspected the subject to be intoxicated and called for a back-up officer. Prior to arrival, the suspect, Jerry Dean Phipps, fled in the vehicle westbound on 2nd Avenue and hit stop sticks that were deployed at 28th Street. The vehicle fled southbound on 28th Street and eastbound on 9th Avenue.
In the 1300 block of 9th Avenue, officers performed a P.I.T. on the vehicle where it slid off the roadway into a business parking lot. Phipps refused to exit the vehicle and a less than lethal bean-bag shotgun was deployed and the vehicle window was shot out. A Police K-9 was on scene, but Phipps became cooperative and exited the vehicle on his own power. He was taken into custody without further incident.
