PARIS — An Oxford man who led police on a high-speed chase during a March snowstorm admitted Monday to three related crimes.

Dawson Bond, 20, appeared in Oxford County Superior Court where he pleaded guilty to driving to endanger, failing to stop, remain and provide information, and operating while license suspended or revoked, all misdemeanors.
Prosecutors dismissed felony charges of eluding an officer and passing a roadblock, as well as a misdemeanor charge of violation of condition of release.
In an agreement, Bond will pay a total of $1,410 in fines and assessments.
Bond was arrested and charged after he allegedly fled when an officer attempted to stop his vehicle for suspected registration and inspection violations on March 1, police said.
Bond was driving a GMC pickup truck on Skeetfield Road in Oxford during a snowstorm when a local police officer observed the truck had registration and inspection violations, according to police. The officer attempted to pull the truck over, but Bond failed to stop and began passing other vehicles erratically to elude the officer, police said.
The truck turned into the parking lot of Ocean State Job Lot on Route 26 and continued into the parking lot of Goodwin’s Chevrolet. It turned back onto Main Street southbound and struck a passing motorist, police said.
As Bond approached the intersection of Main and Fore streets, an officer set up a roadblock with a spike mat, which Bond was able to avoid, but nearly struck a tractor-trailer, police said. He turned the truck onto Fore Street, then lost control and the chase ended in a driveway, where he was taken into custody, police said.
