David Springmeyer
EDWARDS CO., Ill. - Apparently the investigation is still ongoing in the case of a Wayne County miscreant who went on something of a high-speed rampage New Year’s day in Albion.
David Springmeyer, 30, of Fairfield, was the subject of a police chase January 1 in the early morning hours, reaching speeds in the low 90s, according to authorities; but not only that, he’s alleged to have crashed into a former city councilwoman’s house before stealing another vehicle and taking off again.
Today, Edwards County State’s Attorney Mike Valentine announced that the formal charges against Springmeyer amount to felony Aggravated Fleeing/Eluding Police, misdemeanor Reckless Driving, Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident, Operating Uninsured, Improper Lane Usage, Driving Without a License, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, and the requisite Speeding 91 in a 55mph zone.
This is only just the beginning, however; Valentine has advised that he’s still reviewing the reports that ensued with the crash and the second vehicle.
Springmeyer remains locked up in the White County Jail for Edwards County.
