Quincy Police officers arrested 24-year-old Seth Mullins Sunday morning for several outstanding warrants and Aggravated Fleeing to Elude Police

A Quincy man was arrested Sunday morning on charges of Aggravated Fleeing to Elude Police and several oustanding warrants.

At 2 a.m. Sunday morning, Quincy Police officers were in the area of the Casino Starlite, 1201 No. 20th, when they saw two males sitting at the east end of the parking lot in a Silver 2003 Infiniti.

Officers recognized the male in the driver’s seat as 24-year-old Seth Mullins and knew him to have several outstanding warrants.

Officers approached the vehicle on foot when Mullins started the car and drove past them, fleeing north on 20th Street at an extremely fast speed.

Mullins turned west on Locust, when his car became disabled at 6th & Locust. He then turned south on 6th Street and was located at 6th & Maple attempting to restart the car.

At that point, Mullins was taken into custody. He was found to have several outstanding warrants for previous charges of Methamphetamine Conspiracy, Domestic Battery and Failure to Reduce Speed.

Mullins was arrested for a new charge of Aggravated Fleeing to Elude Police and was lodged in the Adam’s County Jail.

The unidentified passenger in the car fled on foot prior to officers locating the vehicle at 6th & Maple. The investigation into the identity of the passenger resulted in the arrest of a 16-year-old juvenile. The juvenile was arrested Sunday for charges of Obstructing Justice and an Illinois Department of Corrections parole violation warrant. The juvenile was lodged in the Adam’s County Juvenile Detention Center.
