A true bill was returned on Earl Ray Cook, Jr. on charges of first-degree fleeing or evading police in a vehicle, first-degree fleeing or evading police on foot, operating on a suspended/revoked operator’s license, reckless driving, first-degree criminal mischief and speeding 26 mph over or greater than the speed limit.
