High-speed chase in Kinston leads to arrest
An Onslow County man was arrested Monday night by the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office following a high-speed chase through Kinston.
Mycah Lilly, 24, received more than a half-dozen charges after a deputy attempted to pull him over for a moving violation on Monday around 9:15 p.m. Lilly attempted to flee from the deputy at a high rate of speed and in a reckless manner, leading multiple law enforcement agencies on a pursuit through the business area of Kinston
Lilly abandoned the vehicle and ran from authorities but was quickly caught. However, Lilly had not placed the vehicle in park and it struck a county vehicle. Lilly’s vehicle was later found to be reported stolen by the Raleigh Police Department earlier in the day.
Lilly’s charges included:
· Felony flee/elude arrest with motor vehicle
· Felony possession of stolen property
· Speeding 76 mph in a 55 zone
· Reckless driving to endanger
· Reckless driving with wanton disregard
· Injury to government property

He was placed into the Lenoir County Detention Center under a secure bond.
