2 chases, 2 days

It again.

A second high speed chase in less than 48 hours.

Will he be released a second time?

Newschannel 2's joleen ferris reports.

Utica police say this man, 24-year-old alex walker, led police on two chases, with speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour, within 48 hours.

.

None 28:20 "the first was sunday here, on oneida square, when a utica police officer asked two drivers to move out of a no parking spot.

He says they did, but walker hit the other car" 18:29 "the officer detailed to oneida square, asked both vehicles to pull to the side of the road so he could complete an accident report and upon approaching the black vehicle, the operator fled at a high rate of speed on oneida street" walker unsucessfully tried to offer people money to hide him from police, and ultimately was found in a backyard, charged , and given more than 40 traffic tickets.

Walker was released, due to bail reform laws, and commented on upd's post about his arrest on their facebook account quote: so thanks for all the negative comments but i'm not going anywhere.

There not locking me up.

I'm from utica that's y i'm out here and i'm gonna get another maserati so you'll see me again according to police, he wasn't lying, and led them on another 100+ mile per hour chase after stealing a car on oswego street, tuesday, and driving it through yorkville and whitesboro before police say his own reckless driving caused that chase to end 20:02 "so the second pursuit yesterday ended due to the recless action of mr. walker, where his two tires were popped based on his driving" for the oneida county district attorney, it's frustrating that the law might have enbabled walker to make good on his facebook pledge 27:46 "there's no accountability right now and nobody's afraid of being arrested.

Being arrested is nothing.

It's an inconvenience for them for a couple hours, then they're back to doing whatever they were doing" walker is in the oneida county jail right now.

But maybe not for long.

On thursday, the da's office will have to argue why his current, temporary, bail should continue...and a city court judge can choose to let it stay...or let him go.
