Michael Harris, 19, and Antwan Ford, 22, each appeared in court Friday morning. They were charged with one count of burglary, one count of criminal damage to government-supported property, and one count of aggravated fleeing and eluding.
Officers were unable to follow the Challenger but began pursuit of the Romeo driven by Harris with Ford as a passenger onto North Avenue. During the pursuit, the officer's vehicle was able to get ahead of the Alfa Romeo and attempted to slow it down, at which time the Alfa Romeo rear-ended the officers' squad car. The Romeo then drove into oncoming traffic to escape. Officers continued pursuing Harris onto I-290, where he reached speeds of 115 mph.
