Wellsville/Andover: Colorado fugitives jailed without bail in Allegany County after a wild downtown police chase

Two Colorado fugitives are jailed without bail in Allegany County after they led State Troopers and Wellsville Police on a wild car chase Wednesday where speeds reached 107 mph. In custody:
  1. Fallon D. Gander, 29, of Aurora, Colorado. She was charged with felony criminal possession of firearms, felony criminal possession of stolen property and criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Gander has active warrants in Colorado.
  2. Dylan Davis, 35, also of Aurora. He was charged with the following felonies: first-degree reckless endangerment, criminal possession of firearms and criminal possession of stolen property valued at more than $3,000. He was also charged with fleeing police and criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Davis has an active warrant in Colorado.
Radio reports indicated Davis led police on a high speed chase that included downtown Wellsville, a construction zone on East State Street Ext. and ended when the vehicle crashed near the overhead bridge, just west of the Village of Andover on State Route 417. A trooper said Davis threw a shotgun over the bridge after the crash.
The chase was the buzz in Wellsville Wednesday as residents couldn't believe what they saw. At one point, the suspect vehicle launched over railroad tracks on East State Street, encountered a closed road, and screeched through a gas station parking lot as police attempted to box in the vehicle. It remains unclear why the Colorado fugitive were in Allegany County.
State Police Investigator Bea tells us the case remains under investigation. He would not say if the suspects had 'local roots.' Additional charges are possible, he said.
