A suspect in a recent shooting in the city of Ithaca is behind bars following a chase with police.
Officers spotted Lasalle Hargrove of Lansing Friday afternoon driving on Elmira Road. The 31-year-old drove away from the scene after police attempted a traffic stop in a parking lot in the 300 block of Elmira Road. Due to the violent and serious incidents for which Hargrove was wanted for, members of the Ithaca-Tompkins Specialized Response Team eventually took the suspect into custody without further incident.
Hargrove was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and burglary, both felonies, in connection with the December 30th home invasion shooting in the 100 block of Chestnut Street.
Additional charges from Friday’s incident are expected.
