The Monticello Police Department was involved in an early Tuesday morning high-speed pursuit that ultimately led to the arrest of a Tolono teen in Champaign County.

Just after 2:20 am on Tuesday, Monticello authorities attempted to pull over the driver of a silver Chevrolet sedan; however, the driver was uncooperative in the traffic stop, evading authorities and sped away, leaving the City in excess of 100 MPH. 

Authorities in Champaign County were notified, and the vehicle was discovered in Tolono. The driver of the vehicle was arrested and identified as 18-year-old Travis McCarter, who was charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding, speeding, and unlawful possession of cannabis by a driver.

McCarter was transported to the Piatt County Correction Center and released. His vehicle was impounded. 

Authorities remind all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

No further details about the incident will be released.
