On Monday, August 31, 2026, around 11:50PM, Chester County Sheriff’s Deputies assisted in a vehicle pursuit involving Keyache Davis.

The vehicle pursuit entered Chester County from Lancaster County on Highway 200. As the pursuit crossed the Thomas G. Mangum Bridge (Fishing Creek Bridge) on SC Highway #200, Sheriff’s Deputies deployed stop sticks, successfully deflating the tires of the vehicle. Despite the tires being deflated, Davis continued fleeing in his vehicle on Highway #200 before turning onto Frances Avenue in Great Falls.

After approximately one mile, Sheriff’s Deputies took steps to end the pursuit and the driver, Keyache Davis, was taken into custody.

During the search of the vehicle driven by Davis, Chester Sheriff’s Deputies seized the following:

-Approximately 22 grams of a substance believed to be Methamphetamine
-Approximately 3.5 grams of a substance believe to be Ma*****na

Chester County Sheriff’s Deputies have charged Davis with the following:

-Trafficking Methamphetamine (2nd Offense)
-Obstruction of Justice
-Failure to Stop for a Blue Light

This is an active and ongoing investigation that may result in more charges.
