Burd briefly pulled over then allegedly sped away until he abandoned the vehicle in the 1500 block of Quincy. Burd was handcuffed a short time later after he was found hiding behind a shed in the 1500 block of Osborne.

A male passenger, 24-year-old Dane H. Welch was also arrested on existing warrants. A 21-year-old female passenger was released without charges.

No one was injured in the chase that reached speeds of 76mph.

Burd is facing numerous traffic violations plus charges for driving on a suspended license, plus flee and elude.
