WILMINGTON — After being convicted of fleeing the scene of a traffic stop, the offender did not check in with his probation officer for more than a year and now has received an 18-month prison term.

Edwin Antonio Daley, 27, of Bethel, was stopped by the highway patrol in June 2015 on Interstate 71 in Clinton County for alleged traffic violations. Initially, Daley did stop his vehicle, but after a trooper made contact with him he fled the scene, according to court papers.

“The defendant fled in the vehicle at speeds above 100 mph while driving recklessly. The defendant stopped the vehicle nine miles later and was subsequently arrested,” Trooper K.L. Prose stated in an affidavit.

After Daley pled guilty to failing to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, he originally was placed on community control sanctions for three years, which included a three-year suspension of his operator’s license.

Daley did not appear for any meeting with probation staff after his sentencing hearing. Fourteen months later, he was back in custody and retired Judge William B. McCracken gave him the year-and-a-half prison term, with credit for 92 days served in jail.

In an unrelated case, Austin J. Buckalew, 22, of Wilmington, received a one-year prison term for grand theft. He was granted 150 days credit for time spent in jail on the case.
