A Palmerton man who led police on a high-speed chase Friday night has been arrested in Virginia, according to reports.

Jacob A. Taschler, 39, was apprehended Tuesday, according to a Facebook post from the Lehigh Township (Northampton Co.) Police Department.

Law enforcement officials had been asking for the public's help in finding Taschler since Friday's high-speed chase, during which he reportedly drove 100 mph and nearly caused several accidents by driving into oncoming traffic.

Taschler, a convicted felon, faces a long list of charges in connection with the chase. He also faces felony charges for a number of burglaries in the Palmerton area, which was the reason that police first attempted to pull him over Friday night.

The chase, which started in Palmerton, crossed between several municipalities along routes 248 and 946 Friday evening. Taschler eventually crashed his car into a wooded area off of Route 946 in Lehigh Township, but took off on foot and managed to elude capture.

Police said Friday's chase began after they tried to stop Taschler's vehicle to take him into custody on charges stemming from several recent burglaries in the Palmerton area.

He had been wanted on felony charges in connection with two separate burglaries that occurred in the last month. He was also out on bail awaiting a preliminary hearing in a third burglary.

He now faces two counts of aggravated assault and a long list of other charges in connection with Friday's chase.

Taschler was previously convicted of child endangerment in 2012, along with his then-wife. They were found to have been negligent in the death of three-year-old daughter, who died of starvation.
