A 45-year-old man is facing a slew of charges as the result of a chase after a pickup truck reported stolen from the Cashin Avenue area yesterday.
The RNC were called about the theft of the black Ford F-150 just before noon.
Shortly after that call came in, a man driving a vehicle matching the description had reportedly just stolen fuel and other items from a downtown gas station before taking off.
