A Northumberland County driver was jailed Wednesday after leading state police at Pocono on a high-speed chase along the northeast extension of the turnpike in Kidder Township, Carbon County.

The driver, identified as Wilbert Lyndon Turner, 27, of Sunbury, was taken into custody and suffered no injuries. He was transported to the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital for a blood test.

He was charged with fleeing and attempting to elude police, possession of a controlled, possession of a small amount of marijuana, driving under the influence and summary offenses.

He was arraigned before a district judge and committed to the county prison in Nesquehoning, failing to post $10,000 bail.
