PERQUIMANS COUNTY, N.C. - A high-speed police chase on Friday ended in a crash in downtown Hertford.
Officials say at 11:34 a.m., a trooper requested assistance from local law enforcement after attempting to make a traffic stop on Ocean Highway.
The trooper says the vehicle that he attempted to stop, fled the scene at high speed into opposing lanes of traffic before traveling down side roads.
A Perquimans deputy nearby located the vehicle on New Hope Road and attempted to stop the vehicle, but officials say the driver did not cooperate.
Officials say the high-speed chase continued through Winfall and into downtown Hertford where the driver struck a vehicle in the 300 block of Church Street and continued at a high rate of speed through town.
Thomas Jefferson student wins scholarship from credit union
A senior at Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy is being rewarded for her dedication to helping others.
Kylie Bradley is one of three charter students in the state to receive the People Helping People scholarship from the State Employees Credit Union which is worth $10,000 over four years.
“I honestly didn’t think I had a chance of getting it,” said Bradley of the award. “They didn’t send me an email until (Michael Smith, TJCA academics dean) told me congratulations.”
Bradley was recognized by the credit union for her work in two areas – working with children who are physically or developmentally disabled and working with local farmers.

Like many banking executives, Harold Dixon wasn’t sure at first about the idea of a state government owning its own bank. His knee-jerk reaction was skepticism that a state government could run a bank, because state employees don’t really have experience doing that.
And he would know that better than just about anyone in New Mexico. Dixon is CEO of the State Employees Credit Union of New Mexico, with 49,000 members. Only state employees could become members until 2016, when the credit union expanded its membership eligibility.
“But once I wrapped my head around it and once it was clear they’re not taking your customers away, they’re just to help supplement what you already do and be another avenue to help you loan more money out in the community, it made a lot of sense,” Dixon says.

DOBSON Need help with an agency such as the Social Security Administration or want to address issues and concerns related to the federal government?
An opportunity to do that is being provided Friday afternoon in Dobson, where the staff of Rep. Patrick McHenry who serves Surry County in Congress will hold office hours to meet with constituents, according to a Wednesday announcement.
This will occur from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Historic Courthouse located at 114 W. Atkins St. in the county seat.
Congressman McHenry, a Republican, is now representing Surry as part of his 10th District, due to a round of redistricting that resulted in the county being removed from the 5th District long served by Rep. Virginia Foxx, a fellow GOP member.
