Two people were killed Thursday night in a South Carolina crash following a pursuit by law enforcement that began in Cleveland County.
Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller said the chase began in Cleveland County, N.C,. when a trooper with the North Carolina Highway Patrol spotted the vehicle on N.C. 18 and attempted to stop the driver who had several outstanding warrants.
Mueller said the trooper crashed his vehicle during the pursuit. The Cherokee County Sheriff s Office was then notified and given a description of the suspect s vehicle. We picked it up two miles into South Carolina on Highway 18, Mueller said. The suspect then went down Blacksburg Highway to the Interstate and got on southbound at exit 100 and went five miles to exit 95 and made a right turn on Pleasant School Road when our deputies lost it.
A Craven County Sheriff s deputy was involved in a high-speed chase overnight that covered three counties and resulted in one arrest of a Lenoir county man.
According to the sheriff’s office, a deputy observed Walter Frank Ingram Jr., driving a car with an expired license plate and no insurance on Glenburnie Road at about 11 p.m.
When the deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop the vehicle instead exited onto US Highway 70 west while throwing objects from his vehicle. Deputies recovered approximately 80 individual packets containing crack and powder cocaine.
The vehicle continued west on 70 at speeds in excess of 100 mph, pursued by Craven deputies. Ingram led officers through craven and Jones County, then into Lenoir where troopers with the North Carolina Highway Patrol deployed stop sticks, partially disabling the vehicle.
Local state trooper looks to change people s view of law enforcement
Kinston/Jones Free Press (kfp)
Jury selection in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin begins Monday, and law enforcement in Kinston wants to continue changing the perspective people may have of all officers.
On May 25, 2020, a video captured Chauvin pressing his knee on the neck of a Black man, George Floyd, for 9 ½ minutes which eventually resulted in the death of Floyd, who was handcuffed at the time.
According to a USA TODAY article on Friday, March 5, “the question at the heart of the case is whether what people saw on the video was murder or a terrible tragedy.”
