On June 1 at 7:59 p.m. Dfc. R. Wilson was traveling south on Md. Rt.4
passing the south entrance to St. Leonard Road when he observed 4 sport motorcycles
north bound at a high rate of speed. Dfc.
Wilson completed a U-turn and attempted to conduct a traffic stop but the motorcycles
sped up and failed to stop. At that
time, a pursuit ensued. A road block was
deployed at Md. Rt.4 and Old Field Lane in Prince Frederick but the motorcycles
managed to make their way through the road block. They continued north through
the intersection at Md. Rt. 231. At Md. Rt.4
and Commerce Lane one of the motorcycles collided with the rear of Dfc. P. Aurich’s
vehicle. Aurich sustained no injuries
and there was minor damage to the patrol vehicle. The operator of the sport motorcycle, Jose
Angel Paz-Alonzo, 28 of Riverdale, was flown by Trooper 7 to Prince George’s Hospital
Shock Trauma Center for precautionary reasons.
The other three motorcycles
continued north on Md. Rt. 4. At the
intersection of Plum Point Road in Huntingtown, one of the bikes collided with Dfc.
M. Velasquez’s mirror causing minor damage to the patrol vehicle. That motorcycle
along with the other two continued north. At Md. Rt. 4 and Ponds Wood Road, one
of the fleeing motorcycles was involved in a single vehicle accident. The operator, Juan Carlos Recinos Henriquez,
29 of Hyattsville, sustained minor injuries. The remaining two motorcycles continued
north. At Huntingtown High School, one
of the remaining two motorcycles was involved in another single vehicle
accident. Again, the operator, Melvin R.
Paz, 26 also of Hyattsville, sustained only minor injuries. The remaining motorcycle
continued north and was last seen north bound. Paz-Alonzo, Henriquez and Paz were charged
with fleeing from law enforcement and numerous traffic violations.
