MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — After leading police on a 40-mile chase with a child in the car last year, he is now a convicted felon. A Monroe County jury found 37-year-old Adam Booker guilty on all counts on Wednesday, including child endangerment and fleeing police.

The pursuit happened on July 31 last year and lasted nearly an hour.

In a post on Facebook, the Monroe County DA says the defendant showed "complete disregard for the lives of innocent motorists, pedestrians, and even his own four-year-old child."

He says Booker now faces a lengthy state prison sentence.
