Frederick, Md (KM) A Frederick man faces a long list of charges including assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and several traffic offenses. Jason Idell Chenevert, 41, was taken into custody Thursday night following a vehicle pursuit and a barricade situation.
Police say they were dispatched at around 6:22 PM to the 300 block of Ballenger Center Drive for a domestic incident. They located a person who had been assaulted by a family member. The victim identified Chenevert as the assailant. .
As officers were speaking with the victim, Chenevert returned and refused to get out of his truck. That led to a chase which took authorities to Jefferson Street, US 340 and Interstate 70. Frederick Police abandon the pursuit when the truck entered I-70, turning it over to the Maryland State Police.

The Special Response Team, the Crisis Negotiation Team and the K-9 Unit took positions around the truck. The Frederick Police and the Sheriff’s Office put their armored rescue vehicles in the area to prevent Chenevert from leaving.
