While speaking with the woman, an officer saw Parks in a vehicle, but Parks fled at a high speed when he saw the officer get into his patrol car, court records show.
The officer caught up with Parks on Nellie and Hoyt Streets where he was parked in the middle of the road. When he saw the officer, Parks again fled at high speeds, running several stop signs.
