SALISBURY — A Salisbury man was arrested Saturday night after leading authorities on a short pursuit following what was originally reported as a physical disturbance. 

Brandon Cheyenne Sorocki, 33, faces multiple charges including resisting a public officer, fleeing to elude arrest, speeding, expired registration, reckless driving to endanger, failure to stop at a steady red light, unsafe passing yellow line and failure to stop at a stop sign. His bond was set at $25,000.

According to Salisbury Police reports, Sorocki was involved in a physical disturbance that began in the 900 block of Celebration Street.
