A Butler man is being held in the county prison in lieu of $100,000 bail while he waits to face drug possession and fleeing from police charges that police filed following a Thursday night chase.

Raymond Dale McIntyre, 28, is facing charges of flight to avoid apprehension, fleeing from police, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and four summary traffic violations.

State police alerted city officers that Raymond McIntyre, 28, was wanted on a warrant from Clarion County Probation and had threatened “suicide by cop,” according to a news release.

His passenger, Brooke Kathleen Reed, 32, of Clarion, also was taken into custody and charged with drug offenses.

Residents of Zenith Road in Butler Township, where the chase ended, reported seeing numerous police vehicles and officers arrive and take two people into custody in the backyard of a vacant home on the dead-end street.

A resident who did not wish to be identified said the vehicle that police chased nearly hit the vacant home.
