Warren cops injured in low-speed chase

WARREN — Two city policemen were injured this afternoon while trying to stop an erratic driver on East Market Street who led officers on a low-speed chase.

The chase, which lasted about five minutes, ended near North Road, when Sgt. Joe O’Grady parked his cruiser in front of the vehicle driven by Tracie Peno, 35, of South Street, Warren, walked to the driver’s door of her car and tried to turn off the ignition.

Peno stepped on the gas, however, with O’Grady part way inside the driver’s door and smashed the driver’s side of her car into O’Grady’s cruiser, according to police.
