Report: Brick Man Arrested After Car Chase in Monmouth County

A 53-year-old Brick man was arrested after being caught talking on a cell phone while driving, then leading police on a chase through Middletown and Keansburg, police said, according to a report in the Asbury Park Press.

The man, Robert V. Ellis, was arrested after an officer on foot patrol told him to pull over, and Ellis responded, 'What for?' before driving away, the Press report said.

Ellis' car was found about 20 minutes later, but his girlfriend was driving at the time, according to the Press. Ellis was later found at a Middletown home.

Ellis was charged with eluding police and multiple motor vehicle violations.
