SPRINGFIELD, MA — A city man accused of smashing into multiple vehicles while leading police on a wild car chase into Agawam was arrested on 46 charges Thursday.
Three police officers were hurt during the chase but none received serious injuries, said Ryan Walsh, police spokesman.
Davey Quinones, 20, was apprehended after driving into a cruiser near the Route 57 rotary in Agawam. He is facing multiple charges including carrying a loaded, large-capacity firearm on a public way; carrying a firearm without a permit, second offense; five counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon; five counts of assault to kill; 18 counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and possession of a high-capacity feeding device, Walsh said.
Members of the department’s Firearms Investigation Unit were on Lombard Street investigating Quinones for carrying a gun with a 50-round drum. At about 3:45 p.m., the suspect spotted police and tried to evade officers by striking several civilian vehicles, he said.
He drove onto Main Street, crossed the South End Bridge into Agawam and continued onto River Road. Quinones then struck the cruiser and was apprehended, he said.
Police later recovered a high-capacity firearm on River Road after observing Quinones throwing something out his window during the chase, Walsh said.
Quinones is expected to be arraigned in Springfield District Court on Friday. This is his second firearms offense, in January 2022 he was arrested with an illegal firearm and was later sentenced to two years probation, Walsh said.
