As the sun is coming up here at Nogglestead, we often hear the coyotes calling as they return to their dens in the national battlefield just across the fields.
But yesterday, about 5:40, we got a novel new sound: a high speed police chase.
Police closed part of U.S. 60 in Republic Saturday morning after a pursuit led to a crash.
The crash happened near Farm Road 170.
Republic police say the pursuit was initiated by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office.
What does a police chase sound like? A siren in the distance, getting closer, and then cars passing by at high speed. I caught sound of the sirens and looked out of my office window to see the fleeing car through the trees followed by a couple of deputies at some remove.
This is the second high speed pursuit I have seen within a year. The last was when the fleeing car and the deputy passed me in the opposite direction on the county highway. Everyone, I was pleased, stayed in their own lanes.
For the record, I prefer the coyotes.
