On June 24, around 1:30 a.m., police said a car drove through two red lights at the Market and Center St intersection.

According to a news release, the car, driven by Jordan Cason, crashed into another vehicle and continued to drive without stopping.

After the crash, office attempted to stop Cason, but officers terminated the traffic stop.

A few minutes later, Cason’s vehicle was found on fire at Locust St. and White Oak Rd after the car crashed into a power pole, causing the lines to come down.

Cason was pronounced dead at the scene, and no other information is being released.
