Routine Traffic Stop Turns into High Speed Police Pursuit

| No Comments
Routine traffic stops are conducted regularly to help promote safety within the community. Some of the most common reasons for these stops are violation of seat belt laws, broken or non-operating tail lights, speeding, or even failure to signal a lane change just to name a few. Last month, what would have been a routine traffic stop for speeding turned into a high speed police pursuit when the Fairfax County police attempted to pull over an individual on Interstate 495.

The teen aged driver attempted to elude police and sped away. The pursuit lasted several minutes before the driver lost control of his vehicle and crashed on the westbound ramp of Route 66 in Virginia. It was later discovered that the driver was driving on a revoked drivers license and was in possession of marijuana and a concealed weapon. He faces charges of grand larceny, speed to elude, possession with the intent to distribute, amongst other charges.
