Stolen Car Crashes After a Downtown Tulsa Chase

TCSO

A Chandler man is looking at spending some time behind bars. It appears 21-year old Joseph Dearmond is a heap of trouble.

He apparently stole a Black GMC SUV in Stroud. Tulsa Sheriff’s deputies spotted the vehicle in Tulsa and tried to pull it over near 2300 Charles Page Boulevard. A chase ensued with speeds of 70 mph coming into downtown Tulsa. The deputies backed off when the vehicle took off down railroad tracks.

A few minutes later the vehicle was spotted again, downtown, after colliding with another vehicle. Dearmond’s car sputtered to a stop near 3rd and Boulder where he was taken into custody.

The sheriff’s department says he admitted to stealing the SUV, pawning a gun he found in the vehicle and being on meth. He is being held on numerous complaints.
