High Speed Chase Ends with Car Crashing into House
Rocky Grove – A Franklin man faces 117 criminal charges after fleeing from police during a traffic stop in Venango County. A Pennsylvania State Police officer attempted to stop Sean Penker (35) for a summary vehicle code violation on Monday night, but he fled to avoid arrest for an existing warrant. For 10 minutes Penker led the trooper on a chase through Sugarcreek and Rocky Grove until he crashed through a gate at Rocky Grove Volunteer Fire Department and bailed from his vehicle to flee on foot while the car crashed into a house. Penker was taken into custody while attempting to run away on foot and has been charged for every single summary violation he committed during the chase as well as seven felonies including counts of aggravated assault on each occupant of the house his car hit.
