"About 6.30pm on December 12, police attempted to stop a vehicle travelling south along the Stuart Highway when the defendant was identified by police as someone known to be driving disqualified," Sen-Sgt Slape said. The vehicle failed to stop and a pursuit was initiated. Sen-Sgt Slape said the man appeared to be in the car alone and was allegedly driving over 140km/h in a 100 zone. "Due to the driving of the person that was fleeing from police, police terminated the pursuit in the interest of safety for all those involved," Sen-Sgt Slape said. On the 13th of December at 1.50pm, a 25-year-old male was arrested as a result of the pursuit. Jurrah was charged with driving in the Northern Territory while disqualified in another state, driving at a dangerous speed and manner, failure to obey signal of a member and exceeding the speed limit over 30km/h.
