A Charlotte man faces several charges after being apprehended by Mooresville Police Department officers following a vehicle pursuit and foot chase on Friday afternoon.

During the pursuit, Richardson’s vehicle struck a marked MPD patrol vehicle and a civilian vehicle, resulting in minor damage, police said. No injuries were reported.

The pursuit continued south on I-77 to the Sam Furr Road area, where stop sticks were successfully deployed, disabling the Ford Expedition.
