While Deputy Joel Arnold was doing a routine speed trap on Jersey Road he pulled over this vehicle. He walked up to the car and just as soon as he got to the drivers side window, the Idiot took off like a bat out of hell. Racing down Jersey Road he failed to negotiate a turn near Adkins Road, swerved across the road, hit a power line pole and went airborne while landing on the hood of the vehicle. Deputy Arnold stated he had been in excess of 100 mph during the chase.
A Chopper was brought in but the diver was conscious when they extracted him from the vehicle so they took him to PRMC in an Ambulance. They did find a large bag of weed on the scene.
Well he did not elude them long did he... he wrecked his ride and still got cought. Just goes to show it does not pay to run from the police. you think that people would learn from watching cops. They have an entire show dedicated to the idiots that think they can get away.
ReplyDeleteWell seems pretty darwinian to me. If you don't want to crash and possibly die then don't run from the police. I'd rather get locked up then die or get seriously injured in a wreck.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the Sheriff's Office has been catching pretty much everyone they have chased so... I'd make sure my heath insurance and life insurance are paid up.
They should bill the idiot for the helicopter fuel as well. DUMBASS!!!!
ReplyDeletenice pictures joe!!!

ReplyDeletei'm sure they will...but if this guy is a big a piece of trash as he seems, he probably won't have to pay a dime for it
Does nyone know if the insurance company's pay when they're try'n to elude police? Maybe another reason why premiums are so high.

Why??? The driver of the car didn't request the helicopter the volunteer fire chief from the Delmar Fire Department did. Why was a helicopter needed anyway? Isn't the hospital 5 minutes or less away by ground? Only an idiot from a volunteer fire department would call for a helicopter to a car accident. The Maryland State Police doesn't charge for helicoptor transport so only an idit like NONAME would think they did. Keep your comments to yourself if you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
Simply having a hospital close does not cancel transporting a patient by medevac. Many times, mutliple trauma patients are flown to Shock Trauma/University Center in Baltimore, despite being close to PRMC. One also may have to take into account the status of the closest hospital as well; whether or not they can a certain patient or patients. Most medevacs are for trauma victims of auto accidents; likewise volunteer and career fire/EMS personnel are trained in the use of the MSP Aviation Section.
ReplyDeleteFinally, MSP Aviation does not bill for its services. It receives funding from MVA vehicle registration fees.

I'm personally very grateful to the "idiot" that called the helo to my wreck (very near where this was) in 1991. It saved my life.
ReplyDeleteDan
I do think the pole will be replaced with insurance money, if he had insurance. He will now be considered a huge risk liability, get canceled and likely will only be able to get insurance through the state and that will cost him an arm and a leg that he managed to keep even after an accident like that.
ReplyDeleteThis is America, as stupid as it was (what he did), until he is convicted he is innocent. He should be entitled to any rescue care he needs.
I don't think the EMS ask people if they have insurance before they try to save a life. Kudos to all that serve the citizens with dignity.

ReplyDeleteYou're right about the helicopter responding in so close to the hospital. Their criteria is no response inside a radius of about 10-15 miles from PRMC unless there is an extended extrication time. It take roughly about 10-12 minutes once Trooper 4 has been notified of an off-the-road med-evac to lift-off from the hanger. So majority of the time it is senseless (sp?) to call for one because by the time they arrive onscene they could be packaged and on route to PRMC. However, in this instance the sheriff's deputy requested through their dispatch center for the helicopter, this according to what was heard on the sheriff's dept frequency. The deputy first impression was that the occupant (driver) was deceased on at the very least seriously injured.
ANONYMOUS COMMENT POSTED AT 5:40PM
ReplyDeleteNo the hospital would not 5 min or less away by ground if the helicopter was called. In cases were people are criticaly injured in accidents emergency responders can call for a life flight from Maryland State Police Avation. usually they are air lifted to the closest shock trama center, which in the Eastern Shore's case would be John's Hopkins. Apparently which ever emergency responder requested Trooper-4 regardless of medical training must have felt the incident was critical enough to request them for stand by incase the subject needed to be flown to shock trama.
I.E. look at the pictures again and tell me if you just pulled up on this scene would you want to start the helicopter in your direction? Take note that you can always cancle a resource but if you as an I.C. never requested it then the responce time will take longer that if you has already started them in critical incidents. Sometimes the MSP Avation has to respond from accross the bay due to local assets being already in use.
sir robert you speak in a manner of a juvenile.
ReplyDeleteyou also have to take into account tbe mechinism of injury
ReplyDeleteThat curve has been the best speed catcher for years. I've lived down he road for fifteen years and have learned it sure can bag the speeders
ReplyDeleteIM surprised he survived this crash! KUDOS to the Officer, he took this person and the drugs off of our streets.
ReplyDeleteSo you dont think the MSP charges for the Medivac baloney they dont have to! We pay for it without the asking its called TAXES ....

What a moron... 5 minutes, really? Every second count in a trauma situation. I'll take the chopper. I hope nobody calls a helicopter for this dumb@ss. Personally I dont care if the idiot who eludes justice get a ride to the hospital or not.
Hope the fool has to pay for the utility pole and clean up too. Nice Job JOEL!

Some very good points here, but when did they start teaching future officers in the police academy when to call for a helocopter???? Especially if it appeared the occupant was deceased????

No DUMB ASS Ed, the MSP doesn't charge for for the medivac. It is funded through EMSOF through your vehicle registration. The taxes you pay, if any, wouldn't pay for milimeter of fuel to run it. MORON!!
Why waste tax money or time when the injured person is stupid and has run from the police, robbed somebody, etc. In summary forget excessive helping lawbreakers. The lessons learned will be a deterrent to others that might consider breaking the law.Criminals think they always have a chance to be successful and even a failure may reap minimum punishment with a good lawyer. The best lessons are learned the hard way. I read the paper and watch the news to know that crime and violating laws is increasing too much.It's got to stop.
ReplyDeleteI see your point anon1101. If being stupid was a crime, there wouldn't be enough taxpayers to pay for all of the people in jail.
ReplyDeletei don't understand why anyone commented this blog. none of u know what happened nor were u there. the helicopter ended up coming back again so that he could go to a different intensive care unit. so it looks like the person that called the helicopter originally was right after all. and this whole time u've been calling the driver a dumbass. who's the dumbass now???
ReplyDeleteFor the totally ignorant people who called this person "Idiot" Including the author of this article, I pray you never have a family member do something that they shouldn't. Just remember that this kid is a son, a brother, a father and he is loved!!! Please keep your condecending judgemental comments close because it may just be someone that you hold dear next time.
ReplyDeleteWow...it really never seems to amaze me how shallow our world really is!!!!!!!! I am so sad to read most of what I have just read. Regardless of who is at fault and who is a "dumbass"...this human being has a mother, a father,wife, girlfriend, a niece, a nephew, a cousin, an uncle, an aunt oh and maybe even a son or a daughter....! Perhaps this genteleman was at fault but who are you people, his JUDGE AND HIS JURY?!?! Wow...sometimes we all live in glass houses, don't we? Perhaps this might be your son or daughter or father or mother or brother or sister...etc,,, who died and left you "GOD"? Most of what I read was talk about the almighty dollar and insurance. So very sad and inconsiderate to many people not just the "dumbass" in question!?!?!?! His name is not dumbass!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe pray for you to recover and face what you must!
there was more than just weed found...
ReplyDeleteThe man's name is definitely not "DUMBASS" or "Idiot." His name is Justin, and he has a daughter named Jayla. She was just brought into this world. He has no other "blood" family of his own. We, my family and I, took him in. He became our family, and to see the judgemental comments some of you have left outraged all of us. He is a good man who tried to make it legit, but the struggle was too much. He had to support his girlfriend(my cousin), his daughter, and his girlfriend's son.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that a man felt that he had more money selling drugs, rather than when he tried to be legit? And, all you can say is "There were drugs taken off the streets," when at most a pound was removed. What about the other hundred's of pounds? This "drug seizure" wasn't even a dent to the drug problems.
We thank the decent people who didn't pass such foul judgement on him. He is a good, honest, intelligent man who is fighting for his life on some hospital bed in Baltimore. For you others (including the author of this heinous article), I do not wish evil upon you... All I ask is, where will you be when your spouse, mother, father, son or daughter are laying on a hospital bed in some hospital; fighting for his or her life? Where will you be standing? How will you feel when someone calls them an idiot because they forgot to take their medicine or something else they did wrong?
For all of you ignorant people who have typed slander and hate toward this man, i will have you kno that he is an honest man who has worked and struggled to make the best of his very troubled and tragic life. You all should be ashamed of yourselves and get a life, rather than talking trash about some one who is fighting for his life in the hospital to see his baby another day. I am this mans cousin and I treat he is like a brother to me. He is the type of person you could lend 1,000 dollars to and he will pay it back in full when ever you need it. So if you have any respect and dignity, you will leave this poor man alone. And for those of you that have shown respect, thank you and please pray for his safety. I will not stoop to the rest of your levels by trash talking but i will have you know that if you ever have a negative statement to say, come and say it to me and i will show you just how much of a man you really are. thank you and god bless you all.

And just how is he a "good, honest, intelligent man"? Let's see here...he was carrying a large amount of drugs (2 ounces of powder cocaine and 7 1/2 ounces of Marijuana with digital scales and baggies and over 1300 cash with no job to speak of), he runs from the cops at a rediculously high speed risking oncoming GOOD, HONEST people's lives and you, the family, are saying he's a "good, honest man"?? It's reason's like you, sticking up for his idiot that make me happy we have actual GOOD HONEST HEROES catching your idiotic "good, honest man" and thank god he was caught. Who knows who he might have got addicted to the cocaine he was carrying or the weed he was smuggling or who he might have KILLED that actually have an honest job.
To you, the family, that stick up for someone like this, who can't go and get an honest job, but who has to prey on the addictions of others and possibly kill others because of high speed pursuits, I SAY SCREW YOU! I hope the F*c*er never sees the light of day!
Wow. You all must be some really angry people. This is a person's life that you comment about. And I guarantee half, over half, of you all do not even know who he is. Regardless of the circumstances...it was a bad decision made by a good person. Think twice before you pass judgement on anybody else...you never know the true story.

"Worked and struggled"? Did not realize that being a drug dealer was such a hard job?! And oh yeah, learn how to spell! Your cousin could have worked an honest job just like the rest of us however he joined the other trash that sells this garbage and further ruins peoples lives. I however do feel sorry for you and your family for what you are going through. I cannot, however, feel sorry for him and the assaninie choice he made. He put the public safety at risk!!! Your cousin got what he deserved. I know who wrote this, but will not divulge her name. Your cusin could have gotten a job at the hospital where you work!! Oh yeah, just not in the pharmacy!!!
I think the author who wrote this article and wrote, "The Idiot took off like a bat out of hell" and label it the idiot who ran from the sheriff so speak is an idiot. Is this a funny situation? Hurray, a tone has been sent, so others who comment can write bad things about a 23yr who yes…did elude from the cops, with drugs in the car. I agree not a good decision but, this isn't a joking matter nor do I feel people should entirely feel sorry for this guy. However, there’s nothing funny about a 23yr fighting for their life. These people who are writing all these comments and calling this guy a dumbass and saying he pretty much doesn't deserve to get treated are idiots. The person who wrote this article is not professional writer and how dare he/she ever give someone a label. What is wrong with society do we honestly get off on peoples mistakes and traumatizing event. This person is fighting for his life and yes I will say a prayer for him and his family. I know nothing about this guy who to me is still a kid and who’s to say he’s idiot, maybe he’s not. I’m sure he knew he had drugs in his car and he probably new he was caught. Just maybe he thought he had a better chance in running. No one really knows what they would do if they were in that situation until they are faced with. No one knows what kind of messed up life he has had. I think being a drug dealer is like being a drug addict and they all need help. Just as drugs will either leave you to death, insane, or in jail so, will being a dealer. Now I’m not justifying that this young man did was right I’m just saying we, as people tend to pass judgment so fast. No one deserves to die and everyone deserves a fighting chance. The decisions we make will not only determine the rode we choose to drive on but our words can also influence others to think in a negative way. What if this person was your son, brother, cousin, or even father would you say these things about him? Maybe they are dumb asses too… huh or better yet maybe that’s why insurance rates are so high and best of yet they don’t deserve and treatment. I hate to see these people views feel about poor people, old people, children who are in foster homes, or people with A.i.d.s for that matter
ReplyDeleteI too would like to comment for justin. His soon to be wife is my best friend. I've seen the good in this man first hand. I've seen very few people in my life to love so strongly. To want to be loved so much. He lost his dad very early in his life. His dad was the one person to truely care if he lived of died as a child. Do you have any idea what its like to live your childhood wondering if anyone would miss you if you were to die tomorrow. He may have had many issues that stem from his childhood but who doesn't have issues. Its people like you that make it impossible to get ahead when you've made mistakes. Its hard to get a good job when you are judged from the start because of mistakes in your past. I know for a fact that he was trying to save money to take classes at wor-wic so he could have a job his daughter would be proud of. He was also looking to seek help from a professional for his problems that stem from his childhood and losing his dad. But guess what they cost money too. I knew him and heard his side you haven't. I also know this was the VERY LAST THING he wanted to be doing. He came very close to losing his cousin who he loves as a brother and changed his life completely. But with the thought of his daughter comming home with not a crib to sleep in he felt he had to do something And since you no NOTHING about justin he did have a job up until two days before the accident but it wasn't enough to make ends meet. No that doesn't make it ok or legal to sell drugs but this country doesn't offer much help when you try to do things the right way.they couldn't get assitance from the state because he was working and "making to much money for assistance" according to the state. I have been in that same situation before myself. You have to be unemployeed or make next to nothing before they are willing to help. He wasn't driving around a tahoe "rimmed out". He didnt have new shoes for every outfit. He didn't have big screened tv's and high tech phones or even the internet. They lived with just enough to get by. Not everyone who breaks a law is a bad person. I am sure you have had a drink before legal age or went through a light as it turned red or maybe you have experimented with drugs before and if not you then someone in your family. Maybe you have even had a family member in a similar situation that could have gotten back on top with a little help. Maybe you are so quick to judge because you have had mommy, daddy, or grandma, etc. to help you when money was tight or to put you through college so you could have your "good job" or even as simple as pushing or leading you in the right direction when all hope seemed lost. But this man had no one to go to for help. If you haven't had to then maybe your the one who has the ability to lend that helping hand to someone, anyone. I do belive that there are people in this world who need to be locked in a cage somewhere away from society for example rapist, child molesters, murderers, robbers, violent offenders, etc. but this man deserves another chance at life. God sure thinks so or he would have ended it there on jersey Rd you saw the pictures. He wasn't taking things that didn't belong to him. He sure wasn't hurting any of you. I'm sure you've read many comments now about how he is loved and your probably saying if he needed help so bad and so many people loved him why didn't we help. Let me answer this for you. We did what we could with words and an ear to listen and a shoulder for them to cry on but none of us had the money to help where they needed it most, financially. I also don't even think he realized he was so loved until this happened and he isn't even awake to know. I don't think most of us truely understood how much a part of us he was until this happened. Instead of using so much energy in such a negitive way use that energy to pray PLEASE! if you can't bring yourselves to pray for him simply because he broke a law then please pray for my friend and those two beautiful children that see this "idiot" as daddy. We love you Justin. Keep fighting for the kids and your loving soon to be wife. Just know that God's on YOUR side Justin and he certainly proved that on Jersey Rd.
ReplyDeleteHey best friend, that coke he was carrying as ruined a many of lives and has taken away a many of mommy & daddies. I am a single mother, struggling myself, don't get state assistance and don't feel the need to deal addictive drugs, that take away, sons, daughters, mother, fathers, sister, brothers, aunts, uncle, and best friends. When Justin wakes, i hope he realizes just what God has given him.
ReplyDeleteI have resisted posting anything to this blog as to most of the comments are either filled with hate or are not factual about Justin. Justin and his entire blood and step family have been in my life since 1990..longer than anyone else posting to be "his family". Justin does have blood family, brothers and a sister who are in his life. He also has a step-mother who has been at his bedside since this accident, when I spoke to her the other day she is devestated as to what has happened and the entire situation surrounding the accident. I was with this family during the tragic loss of Justin's father and all the events that followed over the years. With this being said, Justin was raised with morals, values and love. He was given many opportunities to learn trades and have an education,but was not always good at making good choices. Justin was a follower and not a leader and that unfortunately has lead him down the wrong path many times. Justin has a good heart. Justin loves big. He just made a bad choice may be costing himself his life, be it now or in jail. This has left his family with a broken heart. I will pray for his recovery so his daughter will not feel the pain that Justin and his other siblings felt losing their Dad so young. With all this being said I would also like to say I hope this tragedy will be a turning point for any of Justin's friends who are following the same path or anyone who reads this that may be involved in any such activites. Life is precious- remember that. I will pray for Justin and his family- all his family: blood-step-extended. I will especially pray for his daughter.
ReplyDelete~ A long time family friend
Half of these comments sound like they came from people with "special needs". Read through your jibberish before you post it for the world to see.
ReplyDelete... the uneducated are a burden on everyone.
Now, for my opinion: I think that the moment you decide to run from the police, you should never have a license again. And if they tell you to stop, freeze, put your hands up.. or anything else.. if you don't, you should lose *all* of your legal rights.
I get so sick of hearing the excuses about *why* people run, etc.. if you're not breaking the law, f'ing do what they say.
If you chose not to, and end up upside down in the field... serves you right. Evolution at work.
