22-year-old Tomory Stephens fled from police Thursday as he weaved through traffic in his white Dodge Charger on I-65 at speeds near 100 mph. Officers engaged in pursuit but eventually lost sight of the vehicle, but not before noting the license plate. MNPD Officer Hubbard then visited the address of the registered owner on Electric Ave and met with an elderly lady who told police that was her grandson’s car, and he was the person driving it. She called Stephens, and he returned to the residence and admitted to speeding and fleeing. He stated he was driving fast so he could “make it to the gym to work out.” He was taken into custody and transported to booking.
