SPRINGFIELD — A Springfield man is accused of trying to elude police last month by driving at a high rate of speed with children in the car.
Chadwick L. Carpenter, 37, was indicted this week for failure to comply with a police officer, a felony, and two misdemeanor counts of child endangering in connection by a Clark County grand jury.

Carpenter was arrested Nov. 1 at a home in the 400 block of Linden Avenue following a raid by the U.S. Marshals Service.
Springfield police said officers were aware that Carpenter had an arrest warrant for a child neglect case when they spotted him driving a car on Oct. 25. When officers tried to apprehend him, police said he fled in the car with women and children inside, and that speeds reached about 80 mph.
