SALEM, N.H. (AP) An unruly driver zapped with a stun gun during a traffic stop yanked out the barbs, assaulted the officer and fled early Saturday, prompting a two-state pursuit that also led him to steal a police cruiser and threaten to shoot officers, authorities said.

The fracas began shortly after midnight in Salem, in southern New Hampshire, when Officer Adam Pearson pulled over 52-year-old Robert Zygarowski, of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, for a traffic stop. Police say Zygarowski was uncooperative so Pearson shocked him with the stun gun.

Police gave this account of what happened next:

Zygarowski pulled out the barbs, assaulted Pearson, then jumped in his car and sped away, beginning a chase that ended when his tire blew in Lawrence, Massachusetts. When Pearson ordered Zygarowski and two others out of the car, Zygarowski charged at the officer and fled in the marked cruiser.

Pearson detained the other two until officers from surrounding police departments arrived to give chase. They found the abandoned cruiser a short distance away with no damage and all of its contents still inside.

A short time later, a man matching Zygarowski's description walked into a gas station in Methuen, Massachusetts, said he had guns and was going to shoot officers, prompting the clerk to call police, authorities said. As police using dogs converged on the area, Zygarowski was spotted walking into and through the kitchen of an IHOP restaurant.

Police surrounded the area and found Zygarowski walking on a nearby trail, where another brief scuffled ensued.

Zygarowski was finally arrested and charged with assault, resisting arrest and other offenses. The other two people in the car were questioned and released without charges. One told police he repeatedly asked to be let out of the car Zygarowski was driving, authorities said.

Zygarowski refused the services of a bail commissioner and was taken to a county jail to await a Monday arraignment. He couldn't be reached for comment, and it wasn't immediately clear whether he had a lawyer.

Pearson had minor injuries. He was treated at a hospital and released.

California-basedChevron ( CVX ) recently announced the sale of its interest in some oil fields and pipelines in Chad to the country's governmentfor around $1.3 billion. This falls in line with its plan to divest some $10 billion worth of non-core assets by 2017. The company's strategy is to focus on the 3 key areas of upstream growth i.e. liquefied natural gas ( LNG ), deepwater, and shale/tight reserves development while moderating its annual capital expenditures.

Chevronis the second largest energy company in the U.S. after Exxon Mobil. The company manages its investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, for which it provides administrative, financial, management and technological support. This extends both to its U.S. subsidiaries and to its international subsidiaries, engaged in fully integrated petroleum, chemicals and mining operations, as well as power generation and energy services.It generates annual sales revenue of around $230 billion with a consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin of ~21.8%

We recently revised our price estimate for Chevron to $128/share , which is almost 12x our 2014 full-year GAAP diluted EPS estimate for the company.

See Our Complete Analysis For Chevron

As a part of the recent deal, Chevron has sold its 25% non-operating interest in 7 crude oil producing fields in Chad's Doba basin along with around 21% interest in two affiliates that own an export pipeline, which transports crude oil to the coast of Cameroon. The company's average daily net crude oil production from these assets stood at 18,000 barrels last year, down from 22,000 barrels in 2012.

It makes sense for Chevron to divest from its non-core assets with declining crude oil production, as it plans to ramp up its total hydrocarbon production going forward.The company expects to grow its average hydrocarbon production rate from around 2.6 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMBOED) in 2013 to 3.1 MMBOED in 2017. It expects to draw most of this production growth from the start-up and subsequent ramp-up of new liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) projects in Australia and Angola, and the development of deepwater reserves in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Brazil.

Chevron is betting big on the global LNG market, spending billions of dollars in the construction of around 25 Million Ton Per Annum (MTPA) gross LNG capacity.The Gorgon LNG project, Chevron's biggest LNG bet, forms the centerpiece of its aggressive hydrocarbon production ramp-up plan, as it is expected to contribute over 0.2 MMBOED to Chevron's net daily production rate in the long run.

However, soaring capital expenditures is the biggest valuation concern for Chevron right now. The company's net capital expenditures have soared from around $17 billion in 2009 to almost $37 billion last year. More than 92% of this $37 billion was spent on upstream projects. This has been primarily due to the ongoing development of LNG projects in Australia, where cost structures have significantly elevatedover the past few years due to rising labor costs. Gross cost estimate for the Gorgon LNG project has risen by more than 45% since 2009 to $54 billion today.

This year, Chevron plans to slightly tone down capital investments as it plans to reverse the growing trend in favor of higher cash flows. According to the capital budget plan for this year, Chevron looks at spending around $2 billion less onleasing rigs,floating oil platforms, installingpipelines and repairingoil-refineriesthan it did last year. The recent asset sale in Chad would help Chevron reduce some pressure on its operating cash flows while continuing to progress the development of its long-term growth projects.

Chevron Sheds Stake In Chad Oil Fields To Focus On Higher Growth Assets

We knew Yasiel Puig was fast. We knew Andrew McCutchen was smooth. Now we have an idea of just how fast and just how smooth.

In the latest example of MLB Advanced Media's new Statcast player tracking metrics, the two star outfielders show their stuff on defense. We've got a look at each of them making a spectacular running catch at New York's Citi Field, and the comparative data gives a good idea of how each man achieves his defensive success.

McCutchen is quick, smooth and polished. Puig is just flat-out fast. In each case, it works nicely.

Twice in the span of a week in late May, Mets hitters were robbed of extra bases. On May 22, Wilmer Flores hit a deep drive to right-center. It first appeared to be Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp's ball, but Puig flew into the midst of the play and made the tumbling catch.

"Oh man, I can't believe he caught it," Kemp said at the time, also adding a little more color to his language. "I was shocked."

Five days later, Juan Lagares hit a liner, also to right-center, that Pirates superstar McCutchen seemed to swallow up from his place in center. There was never any doubt who this one belonged to, but it was no sure thing it would be caught until the ball rested in McCutchen's glove.

"The ball's hit, and I just said, 'I'm going to go get it,'" McCutchen said. "Basically what I did, [I] tried to stay on top of it, see where it was due to come down and go get it. [It] was a good play, a long run, and I was able to cover a lot of ground to get to it."

How each man made his highlight-reel play differed quite a bit. Puig's route was a little less direct, but his top-end speed was stunning. McCutchen didn't reach the same peak velocity, but his initial read on the ball proved to be perfect.

Looking at the Puig play, one number stands out above any other: his maximum speed of 21.1 MPH. That's 9.43 meters per second, more than 10 yards per second. It's an absolutely blistering pace, one that makes up for a slightly slower jump and a less efficient route to the ball.

Keep bikes safe alert after Rishton thefts

4:42pm Friday 20th June 2014 in News By Michael Morrison, Hyndburn reporter

RESIDENTS in Rishton are being warned to keep their bikes more secure after a recent spate of thefts.

Thieves have smashed their way into sheds across the town, taking bikes worth up to 900.

Police appealed for help in catching the culprits after 13 bikes were stolen in the last three months.

PCSO Steve Charnley said: Theres been a large increase. Thieves are getting into peoples back gardens and breaking into sheds. It seems to be mainly bikes that are being taken Im only aware of one case where something else was taken, and that was golf clubs.

Ive asked officers from other towns and they dont seem to be having much of a problem, so its obviously somebody in Rishton.

It seems to happen overnight or very early on in the morning, and it does seem to be theyre targeting the high class estates.

One resident, Zoe Allder, said two bikes were stolen from her shed last month.

Speaking on Rishton First, a website set up for residents in the town, she said: We know who was responsible as my son saw them on the bikes on his way home from work. I informed police and gave them the names.

EPHRATA A SeaTac companys president doesnt believe the state should have a say in at least two of the Grant County Fairgrounds septic systems.

Ken Morse, the president of Lifecycle Asset Engineering, told the commissioners Tuesday morning he doesnt believe the septic systems at the fairgrounds rise to the level of state regulations. He also offered a system to treat the sewage before its put into the drain field.

Fairgrounds Manager Jerry Gingrich explained someone suggested talking to the company after hearing about the state Department of Healths requirements to either connect to the citys sewer system or change the septic systems.

The Department of Health has jurisdiction on any septic system handling between 3,500 gallons per day and 100,000 gallons per day.

In a report prepared by Morse and Chief Engineer Mary Shustov, he suggested the pumps on two of the systems were aging and showing inaccurate data. They pointed out the septic system serving the busiest restroom handles about 25,000 gallons per day.

They suggested building holding tanks for the restroom, which could be pumped during fair or put on a timer to distribute the waste into the drain field over a longer course of time.

Morse said the county health district should have jurisdiction over the septic systems, and already issued permits after they were built.

Morse also suggested a product the company sells to treat waste called SludgeHammer. He believes the product could treat the waste before it goes into the drain field.

The company did not list what its services would cost the county.

Residents near a proposed Lower Keys sewer treatment plant have banded together to fight a plan to pump treated sewage water down a shallow injection well, citing concern with the plan's possible environmental impacts.

The group, Dig Deep Cudjoe, has lobbied the Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority to dig deeper injection wells at the treatment plant for the Cudjoe Regional Wastewater Treatment System, which is currently under construction on Blimp Road on Cudjoe Key.

Group representatives met with aqueduct authority representatives on Thursday to voice their concerns.

The aqueduct authority is planning to dig four "shallow wells," which would only pump the treated effluent to roughly 120 feet. Dig Deep wants the FKAA to dig "deep injection wells," which would push the water 2,000 feet below the surface.

Shallow injection wells can be constructed at a cost of about $200,000 each, as opposed to roughly $6 million for a deep well, according to aqueduct authority officials.

Dig Deep is concerned the treated effluent will be pumped into porous limestone and will bleed into the groundwater table and into the nearshore waters, impacting fish, crab, lobster and seagrass habitats. The group wants the effluent pumped into deeper "confined geological strata," said Jan Edelstein, a founder of the group.

"It (the treated sewage) is not going to stay there," Edelstein said. "It's going to move around."

Much of Dig Deep's concerns stem from nitrogen and phosphorus making its way to nearshore waters, which can cause harmful algal blooms killing fish, sponges and other marine life.

Dig Deep is concerned about the long-term damage to the nearshore waters, where flats and commercial fishermen make their living. They depend on good water quality and healthy seagrass and other marine life habitat, Edelstein said.

"The treated effluent may be safe enough to play on, but it's not safe enough for marine life to play in," Edelstein said, responding to aqueduct authority claims that the treated wastewater is safe and is already used for yard irrigation.

Since Tuesday, the Tri-Cities has received about 3.7 inches of rain, bringing this months total to 5.36 inches, said National Weather Service meteorologist Wayne Hoepner.

Although rainfall has kept Todd Chmeliks crews busy with jobs, their schedule grew busier after two storms rolled through Wednesday morning. Chmelik is the owner of Rapid Flush Sewer & Drain Cleaning, Pit Stop Portable Restrooms and Kendal Septic in Spring Lake. He said they arrived at work Wednesday morning to find damp carpet 3 inches from the walls.

Once the second storm hit, water quickly flowed into the building, bringing with it fish from the neighbors flooded pond.

We just all went to work, Chmelik said.

Crews pumped 3-4 inches of water from the office floor; about 5 inches filled parts of the shop.

Despite working to clean up the office, Chmelik said crews also stayed out past 8:30 p.m. working with clients.

The recent rainfall also caused water to rise in Barbara Carlson's basement. The Spring Lake woman said her husband normally keeps an eye on the water level to head off any potential flooding, but hes currently out of town.

Residents clean up a mess

In 2012, Uniontown received a $2.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which was to be paired with $2.5 million in municipal bonds to stop a decade-old problem of sewage seeping from its wastewater treatment system into nearby creeks and tributaries.

Repairs were made to the towns aged, cracked sewer lines, and its wastewater treatment plant was updated with new treatment technology and a new pump station.

The final step was the construction of a new sprayfield, where the treated wastewater would be sprayed and seep back into the ground.

But although the sprayfield is now complete, it sits unused.

The reason: The sprayfield was constructed before the soil was tested for permeability. The soil test was done only after local residents expressed concern, after construction was nearly complete on the site.

Tests proved that the soil was incompatible with a sprayfield.

John Stevens of Sentell Engineering, engineer on the project, said the hydrogeologic testing was not done because it was not required by the state.

We chose not to do a test because (ADEM) didnt require it, Stevens said. They told us that at that time the old sprayfield was very marginal at best. They said get another sprayfield the same size and well be in good shape. Thats just the way it is, and we took their word for it.

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management has since halted the use of the new sprayfield.
