Man faces drug charges after chase

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A man faces several charges after a weekend chase in McLean County in which authorities say he threw parts of a methamphetamine lab out of the car.

Twenty-seven-year-old David Pankowski faces drug charges along with reckless endangerment and fleeing or attempting to elude a peace officer. He could face more than 30 years in prison if convicted.

Authorities say they tried to stop Pankowski's vehicle after reports of him driving erratically on U.S. Highway 83 late Saturday. Pankowski allegedly fled and was stopped only after spike strips blew out his tires.

Pankowski has listed addresses in Mandan, Dickinson and Williston.
