One man in custody after police pursuit from a burglary

One person is in custody following an alleged burglary that led to multiple police chases in Kanawha County. Emerson Torres, 40, has been charged with felony fleeing with reckless indifference, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court. A witness told police they saw three people pull up to a residence, climb over a retaining wall and enter the home through a back door, the news release said. Moments later, the three people were allegedly seen exiting from a front door and leaving in a Mercedes SUV which crashed one mile north of the Mink Shoals exit on I-79 and Torres was taken into custody while allegedly attempting to run. No other passengers were in the vehicle at the time. St. Albans police said an investigation into the incident is ongoing and could result in more arrests.
