CHESTER CITY, Pa. (YC) — What started off as a drug deal ended in a movie-like pursuit, police told YC.

Just after 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Chester City Police received a 911 call for the report of illegal drug sales in the parking lot of Dollar Magic, located on the 2200 block of Edgemont Avenue.

As the officers arrived, they noticed a gray Nissan leaving the area, failing to use their turn signal.

Officers initially pulled the vehicle over on the 2000 block of Providence Avenue.

When officers began to walk up to the vehicle, that’s when the incident went from 0 to 100, literally.
