PORT ANGELES — A Port Angeles man accused of leading police on a high-speed chase through a residential neighborhood faces a Jan. 28 trial in Clallam County Superior Court.
Timothy Patrick Boyle, 26, pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges of possession of a stolen vehicle, attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and third-degree driving with a suspended license.
Police said Boyle failed to stop while driving a stolen Ford Tempo and accelerated to speeds of about 60 mph in an alley between West 17th and 18th streets after dusk Dec. 12.
He allegedly turned off the headlights and continued to speed eastbound in the dark until the car collided with a city garbage container, jumped a curb and came to a rest at 1003 W. 18th St., police said.
Boyle is being held on $1,500 bail.
A status hearing is set for Jan. 9.
