Clinton, OK — A 64-year-old Elk City man is facing a felony charge after authorities say he led officers on a high-speed pursuit exceeding 110 mph through Custer and Washita counties.

Jimmy Lee Davis, also known as Rusty Davis, was charged March 20 in Custer County District Court with endangering others while eluding or attempting to elude a police officer, according to court records.

The pursuit began about 1:47 a.m. near Route 66 and Glenn Smith Road in Clinton after an officer observed a vehicle fail to stop at a stop sign and cross lane lines, according to a probable cause affidavit.

Authorities said the driver did not stop when emergency lights and sirens were activated, instead continuing through Clinton, entering Interstate 40 eastbound, and reaching speeds over 110 mph. The pursuit continued onto U.S. Highway 54 and State Highway 152.

Stop sticks were deployed on Highway 152, disabling three tires and bringing the vehicle to a stop. Davis was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Clinton City Jail, authorities said.

The pursuit covered about 31.5 miles and endangered other motorists, according to the affidavit. Additional violations include failure to stop and failure to maintain a single lane.

A court appearance is scheduled for April 20 in Custer County District Court. Prosecutors also allege prior felony convictions that could affect sentencing if Davis is convicted.
