September 20, 2023 – A coordinated effort by Hermitage and South Precinct officers as well as Canine Unit assistance led to this morning’s arrest of convicted felon Felix Keele, 52, following the pursuit of a stolen Chrysler 300.
Hermitage Precinct officers attempted to stop the Chrysler on Monday night, but the driver fled. It was reported stolen September 16 from Lincoya Bay Drive after it was left with windows down and the key inside.
Officers initiated a stop on Glastonbury Road just after 3:30 this morning, but once again the driver fled.
A pursuit ensued until the driver, Keele, was successfully stopped on Lewis Street. He fled on foot and was quickly apprehended by a canine team.
Keele, who has a lengthy criminal history and is currently on supervised felony probation until 2028, was charged with vehicle theft, driving on a suspended license, two counts of evading arrest and an open container violation for having a bottle of whiskey in the center console. He is being held in lieu of $80,000 bond.
