Montana Highway Patrol trooper dragged by DUI suspect Abraham Spotted Elk, on probation for murder 011316

From KULR

01/13/2016 — The U.S. Marshals Service has confirmed the man, 61-year-old Abraham Spotted Elk, who punched and drug a Montana Highway Patrol trooper after a traffic stop was on supervised release for homicide.

He was originally arrested for the 1986 killing of a man in Lame Deer.

The U.S. Marshals put him under arrest while he was in the hospital. According to Capt. Keith Edgell with Montana Highway Patrol, Spotted Elk was supposed to be released from the hospital Monday morning but now will be spending more time there for unknown reasons.

Spotted Elk’s chase with MHP ended in the suspect driving through a concrete barrier down an embankment on the S 27th St. overpass.

The trooper involved was not injured.

Highway Patrol is working with the County Attorney’s office to file charges against Spotted Elk, including felony assault of a peace officer.

ORIGINAL STORY:

A man was sent to the hospital, and will be spending the first part of the new year in jail after a car chase tonight.

It started when a Montana Highway Patrol trooper pulled over on a car on 1st Ave. because registration was not properly displayed. Sgt. Phillip Freed with MHP said when the trooper got to the drivers window, he saw a large bag of what they assume was methamphetamine. The trooper asked to see the bag, the driver pulled it out and that is when the driver punched the trooper in the head. The driver then started to drive off, dragging the trooper for 10-15 feet.

Highway Patrol chased the driver until he drove through a concrete barrier and down an embankment towards I-90 on the S 27th St. overpass.

Sgt. Freed says the man was taken to the hospital with a foot injury.

The trooper did not sustain any injuries.

Sgt. Freed says they believe alcohol was a factor in the crash. The man was also currently on federal probation.   ….MORE

SOUDERTON MAN CHARGED WITH HOMICIDE BY VEHICLE WHILE DUI IN DEC. 27 FATAL CRASH

NORRISTOWN, Pa.–Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele and Horsham Township Police Chief William Daly announce the filing of charges against Corey Adam Mitchell, 26, of Souderton on the charges of Homicide by Vehicle while Driving Under the Influence and related offenses for causing the death of his friend Erik Detweiler, 25. The victim was living in California and was visiting his family at their home in Quakertown.

The charges stem from a two-vehicle accident that occurred Sunday, Dec. 27, 2015. Officers from the Horsham Township Police Department responded at 2:12 a.m. to the intersection of County Line Road and Easton Road for a two-vehicle accident involving a 2006 Hyundai Tiburon, driven by the defendant with Detweiler in the passenger seat, and a tractor-trailer.

The crash investigation, conducted by the Horsham Township Police and the Montgomery County Detective Bureau, found that the defendant was driving northbound on Easton Road and entered into the left-turn lane with the intention of turning left onto County Line Road. The defendant proceeded into the intersection at an angle, going through a red traffic light and directly into the path of the tractor-trailer. The tractor-trailer struck the passenger side of the defendant’s vehicle, killing Detweiler.

The investigation revealed the defendant was driving with his vehicle headlights off and drove through a red traffic signal when turning left onto County Line Road. Additionally, an analysis of the defendant’s blood found a blood alcohol concentration of .154% and the presence of marijuana.

The defendant is expected to turn himself in early next week and will be arraigned. The case falls under the jurisdiction of Magisterial District Judge Harry J. Nesbitt. A preliminary hearing will be scheduled at the time of the arraignment.

The case will be prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Sophia Polites.
