South Strabane police said they chased a Bentleyville man for nearly 4 miles while he was driving in reverse on Route 136 Wednesday night.

Gerald R. Pastor, 60, reportedly told police his transmission was broken and the only way for him to drive the vehicle was in reverse.

Police said they followed his vehicle at about 8:20 p.m. for 3.7 miles with emergency lights on, but Pastor refused to stop.

Pastor will be cited for fleeing police.
