CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The man accused of leading Charlotte police on a high-speed chase across Mecklenburg County is moving along with his court case.
Editor's note: The video above is from July 2022.
Tyler Harding is facing numerous felony charges in connection with the incident, including four counts of vehicle theft, three felony counts of larceny of a motor vehicle and two counts of felony hit-and-run. The incident started as a reported break-in, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said at the time of his arrest.
During the chase in July 2022, Harding allegedly stole multiple vehicles and crashed head-on into an innocent bystander in Charlotte's Ballantyne neighborhood. The chase, which lasted over two hours, came to an end in Charlotte's South End area after a crash near the intersection of East Boulevard and South Boulevard.
On Tuesday, Harding had a follow-up scheduling conference court hearing, according to officials. This was a procedural court date that was not held in open court. His next court date is scheduled for May 1.
