Police officers in Brockton, Massachusetts had their hands full on Tuesday night when they had to actively pursue vehicles in three separate chases that took place throughout the evening and into late night hours. One of the incidents involved an individual who already possessed three active warrants when he sped by Brockton police officer Lt. Kenneth LeGrice around 5:12 PM Tuesday. LeGrice was monitoring traffic around the area of Spring Street and North Warren Avenue when he became aware of the man with the active warrants.
The man in question is Gerron Allen Harper, 21 years old, from Worcester, Massachusetts. When Officer Lt. Kenneth LeGrice attempted to stop Harper, he sped away—which led to the first car chase the Brockton police department would encounter in just a few short hours. According to reports provided by Lt. Kenneth LeGrice, after failing to pull over for Lt. LeGrice, Gerron Harper drove into a parking lot located at 139 Pleasant Street. However, he didn’t stay there long. Just moments later Harper drove over the curb and out onto Pleasant Street, where the pursuit continued. LeGrice said that after Harper pulled onto Pleasant Street, he pulled off the road again to enter the parking lot of a Vincente’s grocery store. Harper didn’t wait there long either. Shortly after pulling into that parking lot, he sped off again, this time onto Green Street followed by Highland Street. Not long after, Gerron Harper crashed his car into the front steps of a residence located at 60 Highland Street.
After Harper crashed his car into the steps of the building, he immediately jumped out of the car and fled from pursuing officers on foot. He was finally reprimanded by Brockton police officers in the backyard of another residence located at 71 Highland Street.
