A high speed chase near Nashua ended with stop sticks, a short foot chase and a trip to the pokey for a Florida man wanted on murder charges.
The Iowa State Patrol says a trooper attempted to stop a vehicle driven by 21-year-old Devon Cooke of Miami Thursday morning on Highway 218 for speeding. The Patrol says Cooke fled at speeds of more than 100 miles-an-hour and drove at oncoming traffic. Cooke now also faces charges of OWI, felony eluding, assault on a peace officer, multiple traffic violations and several drug charges.
Cooke is in the Chickasaw County jail on the Iowa charges and will be taken back to Dade County Florida where he is wanted for second-degree murder.
