High Speed Chase Gets Dubuque Man Arrested

A Dubuque man faces additional charges after being arrested last week for a high-speed chase. 20 year old Dustin McGonigle was arrested Monday on charges of unlawful possession of a prescription drug, second-offense possession of marijuana and interference with official acts. McGonigle was originally arrested Thursday on charges of eluding-more than 25 mph over the speed limit and driving while barred. A state trooper clocked McGonigle driving 76 mph in a 65 mph zone on U.S. Highway 20 between Farley and Epworth. He accelerated when the trooper turned on his lights to conduct a traffic stop. McGonigle topped 100 mph as the chase neared Dubuque, then led authorities through the city, failing to stop at stop signs and running a red light.
