On August 27, 2016, Calvert County Sheriff’s Office’s Dfc
Gott observed a motorcycle traveling at an extremely high rate of speed
southbound on Rt. 4. Dfc. Gott clocked
the vehicles speed with his agency issued radar at 106 MPH in the posted 55
mile per hour zone. The motorcycle was splitting traffic, making unsafe lane
changes and driving on the center line between vehicles in the area of Rt. 4
and Ball Rd. Dfc. Gott and other units
attempted to catch up to the motorcycle to get it stopped. Dfc. Trigg was in the area and located the
vehicle still operating recklessly on Rt. 4 near Parran Rd. The motorcycle made a U-turn and began
travelling north on Rt. 4 at an extremely high rate of speed. Dfc. Trigg activated his emergency equipment
and notified the Control Center that he was engaged in a vehicle pursuit. The motorcycle continued north at over 100
MPH while splitting traffic and passing vehicles.
Sgt. Basham and other
units stopped traffic at Rt. 4 and Old Field Lane to prevent the motorcycle
from travelling into the congestion of Prince Frederick. As the motorcycle approached the area where
traffic was shut down, the operator made an abrupt U-Turn and began travelling south
on Rt. 4. The units that had been
pursuing the motorcycle were south of the intersection of Old Field Lane and
were able to get in front of the motorcycle to get it stopped. Dfc. Trigg and Dfc. Gott attempted to slow the
motorcycle by conducting a rolling road block in both lanes of south bound Rt.
4. The motorcycle attempted to pass the marked
patrol units by driving into the median strip.
When the motorcycle entered the soft grassy median the driver lost
control and was ejected from the motorcycle.
When the driver was ejected his body struck the trunk of Dfc. Gott's
patrol vehicle causing minor damage to the CCSO patrol car. The driver was taken into custody and
subsequently transported to Calvert Memorial Hospital to receive medical
treatment.
The motorcycle operator was identified as 33 year old Dennis
Deonte Green of Mitchellville, MD. Green’s privilege to drive in the state of
Maryland was suspended and the motorcycle he was operating was unregistered and
uninsured. Green was charged with
numerous payable traffic violations as well as several must appear violations to
include fleeing and eluding and driving on a suspended license
