A St. Ignatius man is accused of leading law enforcement on a high-speed pursuit. Bradyn Eylee Hureaux, 19, entered a plea of not guilty in Polson District Court Oct. 14 to felony aggravated fleeing or eluding an officer.

According to court records, on Sept. 4, a Lake County Sheriff’s deputy on patrol in Ronan, observed two vehicles that appeared to be preparing to race each other. One was described as a black car, the other a white four-door WRX.

Another deputy was on patrol in the area and observed the WRX, with no license plate, and attempted a traffic stop. The driver of the WRX initially stopped but took off as the deputy approached.

What followed was described as a pursuit that included running through a stop sign and speeds up to 100 MPH. The chase was called off when the deputy lost sight of the WRX on Round Butte Road.
