Lancaster man who led law enforcement on high speed chase sentenced

BUFFALO, N.Y. - U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo announced today that Da’Ron Lipscomb, 33, of Lancaster, NY, who was convicted of high speed flight from an immigration checkpoint, was sentenced to serve six months in prison by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles M. Kruly, who handled the case, stated that on June 26, 2024, Lipscomb was driving a vehicle that approached the primary inspection booth at the Peace Bridge Port of Entry in Buffalo. At the primary inspection booth, he was directed by a Customs and Border Protection officer to report for secondary inspection. Instead of presenting his vehicle for secondary inspection, Lipscomb drove through the Peace Bridge Port of Entry and onto the I-190, in excess of the posted speed. He was followed by marked CBP vehicles. Lipscomb lost control of, and crashed, his vehicle.

The sentencing is the result of an investigation by Customs and Border Protection, under the direction of Director of Field Operations Rose Brophy.
