Supreme Court: Fleeing police in car is a violent offense
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says fleeing police custody in a vehicle can be considered a violent felony.
The high court made its ruling on Thursday in the case of Marcus Sykes.
Sykes argued his fleeing conviction shouldn’t be considered violent and two federal appeals courts, the 7th Circuit in Chicago and the 11th Circuit in Atlanta, have ruled in opposite ways.
The high court said in a 6-3 judgment that Sykes’ flight from police can be considered a violent felony.”
