On February 15, 2015 at 8:19 p.m., the Calvert Control Center
received a 911 call from a victim stating his vehicle had just been stolen from
1608 Mint Ct, Prince Frederick. The
victim described the vehicle as a 2012 white Dodge Charger with Maryland
registration 3AP6740. Dep. Ward of the Calvert County Sheriff’s Office observed
the vehicle travelling north bound on RT4 in area of Calvert Memorial Hospital
and attempted to stop the vehicle. The
operator of the vehicle accelerated and a pursuit ensued. Sheriff’s Office units coordinated the
deployment of stop sticks in the area of Cherry Hill Road and Maryland Rt.
4. The driver’s side front tire was
deflated by the stop sticks. The vehicle continued north on Rt. 4. The tire which had been deflated by the stop
stick deployment separated from the rim of the vehicle in the area of Skinners
Turn Road. The vehicle continued north driving on only the rim at speeds in
excess of 100 miles per hour. The pursuit continued into Anne Arundel County
and then into Prince Georges County. The
vehicle took the exit for Water Street at the Equestrian Center in Upper
Marlboro where it crashed into a tree in the wooded area along the access ramp that
leads back to Maryland Rt. 4 north. The
suspect fled the wreckage on foot. K-9
and a helicopter with FLIR were deployed in an effort to locate the
suspect. After an extensive search the
suspect was not located and his whereabouts and identity are unknown at this
time. The PG County Police Department
responded to assist with the search and assumed the crash investigation.

around the crash scene and blood drenched clothing was also located nearby
