An East St. Louis man pleaded guilty Thursday to leading police on a low-speed chase through Cape Girardeau last week.

Qurshan L. Wallace, 28, was accused of failing to stop for authorities when they tried to pull him over for expired plates. After leading them through town he then jumped out of his still-moving car and attempted to flee on foot, police said. A police car was damaged in the chase after it was struck by Wallace's unoccupied vehicle.

In exchange for his guilty plea seven of 15 misdemeanor traffic charges against Wallace were dropped, said assistant prosecuting attorney Scott Lipke.

Wallace pleaded guilty to failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, failure to stop for a red light, failure to signal; and failure to stop at a stop sign all class C misdemeanors.

He also pleaded guilty to four class A misdemeanors, including careless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, resisting arrest and driving without a license.

Wallace was sentenced to nine days in jail for the class C misdemeanors. For the class C misdemeanors, he received an additional 90 days suspended sentence followed by two years supervised probation.
