JACKSON (WNE) — A taxi driver was arrested Thursday morning for driving his black Chevrolet Suburban taxi at high speeds, forcing other cars off the road while eluding a Teton County Sheriff’s deputy. The driver said he thought he was being “escorted” on his way to pick up Harrison Ford.

Pavlo Voichuk, 38, is facing two charges in Teton County Circuit Court: reckless driving and attempting to elude police.

Thursday morning, Deputy Landon Call of the sheriff’s office saw a black SUV pass him and other vehicles at a high rate of speed on Highway 390, just north of the Snake River Ranch Road.

Investigations identified the taxi company as A Black Car Service.

During the course of the incident, Teton County Sheriff’s deputy Clayton Platt said, Voichuk forced “at least seven” vehicles off the road.

“Two vehicles in the opposite lane of travel pulled to the shoulder to avoid a head-on collision,” Call’s affidavit said. “The Suburban continued to travel down the middle of the north and south bound lanes causing vehicles in both directions to leave the roadway.”

Voichuk also “recklessly forced his way in between two vehicles and nearly caused a four-vehicle crash at speeds from 55-70 miles per hour.”

Driving in the opposite lane of travel, Voichuk eventually turned onto Teton Village Road and stopped at the entry of the Four Seasons Resort.

The driver stated he thought Call was “escorting” him to the Four Seasons. He said he received an urgent message that he needed to pick up Harrison Ford as soon as possible.

No evidence of impairment, controlled substances, or weapons was found before Voichuk was transported to the Teton County Jail.

Voichuk, identified as a Ukrainian native with a California driver’s license, was arraigned in Teton County Circuit Court on Friday afternoon. He appeared remotely from Teton County Jail but was released on a $500 cash bail.

Black Car Service owner Dumitru Cusnir said both Voichuk’s taxi permit and employment have been terminated.
