Huston Township, PA – The DuBois man accused of ramming a police vehicle, leading police on a chase, and fleeing into the woods has apparently had multiple other crimes in the weeks before the chase.

State Police in DuBois say that 29-year-old Corey Bigelow from DuBois physically assaulted his girlfriend, a 34-year-old DuBois woman, injured her, broke her iPhone XS Max, and then ran into the woods on Jan. 29.

Then, about a week later on Feb. 8, Bigelow was caught trying to pass a $100 counterfeit bill at a business in Brookville.

The recent crimes culminated finally on Feb. 14 when he rammed a police vehicle and got into a pursuit near the Dollar General in Penfield. His girlfriend had been in the vehicle during that incident. Bigelow is facing multiple serious charges, including assault.
