Police began their investigation earlier this month when they were called by a neighbor on South Light Street because a man was seemingly forcing a woman into his car, according to a Springfield police report.

“(The witness) stated the female was screaming ‘I don’t want to go,’” the report says.
Officers were able to catch up to the vehicle, the report says.
Officers said Hayes ran red lights and continued to pass vehicles by going left of center and reached speeds of more than 100 mph. Eventually, according to the report, Hayes turned onto Possum Road where he almost hit a truck.
“At this point, the front right tire of Mr. Hayes’ vehicle blew out,” the report says. “Mr. Hayes then turned into Shawnee High School where he jumped out of the car and ran.”
Officers were able to catch him and make an arrest, the report says.
The woman told officers that she feared for her life during the chase, the report says. She told police the incident began when he suspected her of talking with another man on the phone, according to the report.

She said he forced her into the car with him, according to the report, adding that she tried to run away but he caught her, picked her up and took her to his vehicle.
“(She) stated she was grabbing onto bushes to prevent Mr. Hayes from taking her away,” the report says.
