On Monday, May 25 at around 5 p.m., a hit on a Flock camera alerted Huntersville Police to a stolen vehicle.
Officers observed and attempted to stop the vehicle, but it sped away. The driver avoided an attempted deployment of a tire deflation device (commonly known as Stop Sticks) before overcorrecting, hitting an embankment and striking another uninvolved vehicle head-on along the 6000 block of Sample Road. The driver then fled on foot but was soon apprehended by pursuing officers with the assistance of a K-9.
The suspect, a juvenile male, was arrested and charged with felony fleeing to elude, felony possession of a stolen vehicle, felony hit and run, felony possession of ma*****na, resist delay and obstruct, carrying a concealed gun, possession of a firearm by a minor, possession of burglary tools, possession of a counterfeit instrument, misdemeanor possession of ma*****na, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm with an altered serial number, reckless driving, and driving without an operatorโs license.
Even on Memorial Day, when many were enjoying time away from work, our officers remained focused on protecting the community. Through the dedicated efforts of our officers on Watch 3, stolen property was recovered and important steps were taken to hold a responsible suspect accountable.
