A Monroe County man was arrested and charged with eluding police while under the influence. East Stroudsburg Police say they tried to pull over 18 year old Alejandro Vega Jr for running a red light. He took off though, with three others in the car, at times reaching speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour on Courtland Street, where the posted speed limit is 25 and 35 miles per hour. When finally stopped, Vega was taken into custody after officers found marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
