Chase Ends with Collision into Deputy

A West Union man is in jail, after leading authorities on a chase, which ended when he rammed his vehicle into a squad car.

Early Saturday evening, a Fayette county deputy spotted a car driven by 34 year old T.C. Gould, heading west on Fillmore road, near West Union.

Gould was known to be wanted in Buchanan County, and was driving on a suspended license.

Gould refused to pull over, and a chase ensued into the city of West Union.

Gould led officers through several yards before ramming a patrol vehicle in the 100 block of Franklin Street in West Union.

Gould was then arrested and charged with Assault on a peace officer, eluding while participating in a felony, driving while suspended, reckless driving, criminal mischief fourth degree, and not wearing his seatbelt.

The Iowa State Patrol, West Union Police, and Tri-State Ambulance helped the Fayette County sheriff; Gould was held in the Fayette County jail on $30,000 bond.
