Nason, who posted the $300 cash bail, faces a Jan. 27 arraignment at Augusta Superior Court.
Stubbert said Oakland officer Gary Bowman and reserve officer Ryan Johnston signaled Nason to pull over after they noticed his car had an expired inspection sticker. Nason, driving on Church Street, responded by increasing his speed in an effort to elude police, Stubbert said.
Stubbert said Bowman pursued but not at a high speed. "What was particularly impressive in my mind," he said, "is the officers didn't get into a high-speed chase."

Stubbert said Nason soon left his car and tried to flee on foot only to be run down by Bowman and Johnston.
