NORWICH – Two New Jersey men in a stolen car led police on a high-speed chase through five townships and two counties Tuesday. They swerved through traffic and even avoided police spikes at speeds in excess of a 100 miles an hour before losing control of their vehicle and colliding with a guardrail.

The operator of the stolen black Honda Accord was Brian T. Stoddard, 23. He and a passenger, Michael J. Bentley, 20, both from Lincoln Park, N.J., were charged with multiple felonies and remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $100,000 and $75,000 bail, respectively.

Sgt. Ted Ellingsen, who was involved in the chase, said the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office received information from the New Jersey State Police that a stolen vehicle and suspects involved in a another chase in New Jersey earlier in the week may be hiding at a seasonal camp in the New Berlin area.

Deputies discovered the vehicle being driven just south of the Village of South New Berlin yesterday afternoon. They avoided the patrol by speeding away down Angel Hill Road to the intersection of State Rt. 8.
