He probably cut through yards and alleys which caused the police officer to reach those speeds on main thoroughfares to catch up

Just like tracking deer...or a "Doe"
In a criminal complaint, Uniontown police said they responded to a report of two males checking vehicle doors on Cramer Avenue on Monday.
Officers saw fresh footprints in the snow near the vehicles and came upon a man who was carrying a black bag. The man ran, and the officers gave chase.
They followed one set of footprints to Crossland Avenue, across a stream and into a wooded area near Crossland Avenue. The officers followed the footprints into the woods, where one of them found Jackson “tucked in a burrow.”
An officer placed handcuffs on Jackson and was helping him out of the hole when Jackson said he was stuck on something. When the other officer broke a tree branch to free Jackson, the officer lost his hold on Jackson's wet clothing and Jackson ran off in handcuffs, according to the complaint.
Police lost sight of Jackson during a foot pursuit but were able to follow his footprints to Grant Street, where Jackson was found lying in a wooded area. Jackson was taken into custody but refused to identify himself. He was arraigned under the name “John Doe,” but police Chief Jason Cox said he was identified as Jackson.

cause you are probably hiking around a wooded area where hunting goes on, or clay pigeon shooting.

There was a tractor trailer driving through Portland, ME this morning with a Fayette County themed trailer. I was driving and couldn't get a picture, but it was glorious and completely disingenuous and way out of left field.

I tried finding a pic online but can't. I know exactly what you are talking about. On the back it says "Follow me home to Fayette County".. I think they are based out of Perryopolis right near Pizon's bar. The "allen's haunted hayride" thing is right there too, some people may have gone. Around halloween the place gets nuts.

Yes, I didn't catch the company's name, but it was from Perryopolis.

It was a nice, scenic picture....

Not sarcasm, though I don't think Perryopolis is that scenic. Truck just seemed out of place, couldn't believe it when I saw it.

Perryopolis has a lot of historic places. George Washington owned a lot of land there in the 1770s. Not scenic but definitely a cool little town.

Are those names on the bottom significant? I see Bubnash and Caporella which I recognize but I think the "Rebot" that's cut off is Rebottini and that is a friends maiden name.

One said he heard the men discuss how boring the fire department was and that they "should light a house on fire so that they would get a call," Sgt. Howard wrote.

Sadly...this is not just occurring in Fayette Co. Most arsonists are Firefighters.

^^^^^^

Correct. They're the arsonists or they contract out their arsoning work.

I've heard stories that the people in the local department used to pay kids in the neighborhood $50 to light the hillside past my house on fire. There weren't any houses near the place that was lit, and at some points in the summer it could be done by flicking a cigarette on the hill.
