"An off-duty Easton police officer saw the vehicle near the Knights of Columbus on Foundry Street and reported that it was traveling at around 70 mph and passing in a no passing area and forcing vehicles off the roadway," Krajcik said in a statement. "We then received a call that this vehicle caused an accident at the five corners [in Easton]. The suspect vehicle continued westbound toward Mansfield."
A caller identified the license plate of the vehicle, Krajcik said, which allowed Easton Police to notify Mansfield and Walpole Police. Eisele was eventually arrested in Walpole.
