New Castle man held for DWI after vehicle pursuit

NEW CASTLE — A New Castle man with a history of driving-related convictions was arrested Saturday after leading police on a vehicle pursuit.

Police reports indicate officers began chasing a car driven by John E. Bowsman at 14th and G streets about 2:30 a.m.

Bowsman was pulled over in the 1800 block of Thornburg Street after running several stops signs and a red light, the reports said.

He was preliminarily charged with driving while intoxicated, resisting law enforcement with a motor vehicle, driving after a lifetime suspension and public intoxication.

Court records reflect Bowsman, who turns 44 on Wednesday, was convicted of driving while intoxicated in 2001 and 1996, driving as a habitual traffic violator in 2001 and 1999, and driving while suspended and public intoxication in 1996.

He was being held in the Henry County jail on Sunday under a $13,900 bond.
