PHILLIPSBURG — A pursuit in the city of Phillipsburg on Thursday morning resulted in the arrest of a Phillipsburg teenager.

The Phillips County Sheriff’s Department reported that, just before 8 a.m. Thursday, Ashton Matteson, 18, followed an unmarked patrol vehicle closely and revved his engine numerous times.

“The sheriff turned into the courthouse and got behind him to affect a traffic stop when Matteson fled,” the department said in a news release. “Matteson stopped at White’s Foodliner and ran into the store, disobeying commands to stop. He was taken into custody in the store.”

He was arrested on suspicion of following too close, exhibition of acceleration, fleeing or attempt to elude, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Bond has not been set.

Matteson was out on bond for a previous incident and that bond may be revoked, the release said.

EDITED: To correct day of incident.
