SALISBURY — A China Grove man was arrested after leading police on a car chase after deputies attempted to stop him for speeding, according to a spokesperson for the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident began when a deputy noticed a dark 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse traveling east at a high rate of speed on N.C. 152. The deputy then reportedly clocked the car at a speed of 80 mph in a 55 mph zone. According to the spokesperson, the car then turned right onto Daugherty Road, at which point the deputy turned on his lights and siren in an attempt to stop it.

The driver then allegedly took off and turned off his exterior lights in an attempt to elude the deputy. He turned onto Lentz Road, during which he allegedly failed to stop at the stop sign. Eventually the driver turned back onto N.C. 152 and turned right onto Miller Road. When the deputy followed him onto Miller Road, the driver stopped and put his hands out of the window.

Daniel Torbert Leary Jr., 21, was charged with felony flee to elude, failure to stop for siren, speeding and driving while impaired. Leary was given a $15,000 bond.
