SHREWSBURY – Two men have been arrested following a foot chase today in Shrewsbury.
Luis Santos, 56, of Worcester, was arrested and charged with failing to stop for police, operating with a suspended license (subsequent offense), possession of a Class B substance, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, conspiracy, resisting arrest and multiple civil motor vehicle violations.
Victor Delgado, 47, of Roxbury, was arrested and charged with possession of a Class B substance, conspiracy and resisting arrest.
At approximately 1:27 a.m., Shrewsbury police attempted to stop a blue 2006 Toyota Scion on Hartford Turnpike for operating with an expired registration. The vehicle failed to stop and attempted to flee, according to a Shrewsbury police press release.
The vehicle allegedly fled from Hartford Turnpike onto 140 Northbound, then onto Main Street Westbound, onto I-290 West. The vehicle then exited I-290 onto Lincoln Street in Worcester, and proceeded onto Country Club Boulevard in Worcester.
Santos, who was reportedly operating the vehicle, and Delgado then jumped out of the vehicle, while it was still moving, and fled on foot.
Delgado was quickly taken into custody by Shrewsbury police. Officers chased Santos on foot through the yards of Lincoln Village Apartments and took him into custody as he attempted to enter an apartment.
This is the second arrest Shrewsbury police have made following a foot chase this week.
