A man from Riverton was arrested April 18th following a brief pursuit. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office reports a Fremont County Deputy was on a traffic stop, when a Nissan Xterra SUV failed to move over and slow down. After the Deputy at the traffic stop notified other deputies with a description of the vehicle, another Fremont County Deputy was able to locate the vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop near the 3700 Block of Highway 2.

The suspect vehicle led deputies on a short pursuit with speeds reaching 80 miles per hour. The chase ended with the arrest of 45-year-old William Joseph Estelle. He was charged with Eluding, Possession of a Controlled Substance, Methamphetamine, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.

Estelle was also later charged with Violation of Parole. Fremont County Deputies were assisted by the Page County Sheriff’s Office and the Shenandoah Police Department.
