<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The suspect vehicle, a Buick LeSabre, was traveling northbound on DuPont Boulevard in the right lane. The driver was observed committing a traffic violation and troopers initiated a vehicle stop. The vehicle entered the Royal Farms parking lot located at 16979 Beach Highway, Ellendale. Troopers activated their emergency lights and the vehicle came to a stop in the area of the gas pumps. As troopers began to exit their patrol vehicle to approach the Buick, the vehicle sped off at a high rate of speed. The vehicle exited the parking lot onto Beach Highway in a westbound direction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Police say that the vehicle continued westbound on Beach Highway and began rapidly accelerating passing a vehicle in the opposite lane of travel. During the pursuit, the driver was seen throwing suspected drugs from the vehicle. The suspect drove at high speeds in a reckless manner while traveling on the wrong side of the roadway several times and failing to stop at stop signs. The suspect continued to speed on Coverdale Road and turn on Mill Park Drive running vehicles off of the road. The suspect vehicle drove through multiple yards with his driver’s side door open in an attempt to flee the vehicle on foot. The vehicle traveled on Mill Park Drive and stopped in a private drive.</span></p>
