When police arrived, Jaffe-Suggs confronted the officers, got into his car, and drove off.
He drove down a pedestrian-only road at one point, which promoted police disable a tire on the vehicle. He then took off, leading police on a chase through downtown Burlington and then on to the interstate until a rim came off his car.
Police arrested Jaffe-Suggs, charging him with assault with bodily fluids, assault with bodily fluids, disorderly conduct, and grossly negligent operation.
