Suspect Sought After Chase In Kent And Sussex Counties

Date of Occurrence: Tuesday May 11, 2010 at 5:25 p.m.

Resume:

Delaware State Police are search for the driver who took state troopers on a chase in Kent and Sussex Counties.

The incident began when a trooper was stopped for a red light on Main Street at SR 10 in Camden. When the light turned green the trooper along with other traffic began to move through the intersection when a 2010 Chevrolet Impala ran a red light coming from eastbound SR 10. The Chevrolet came dangerously close to striking the trooper’s car and other traffic.

The trooper activated his emergency equipment and attempted to stop the vehicle. The Chevrolet proceeded east of SR 10 disregarding the trooper’s lights and siren. The Chevrolet was swerving back and forth in the lanes on SR 10 and then turned south on U.S. 13. The Chevrolet began to drive in the northbound lanes for a period of time before returning to its proper lane.

A Georgetown Police Officer stopped at the intersection of S. State Street and Sorghum Mill Road to assist. The officer directed the Chevrolet to pullover however the Georgetown Police Officer had to jump out of the way in order to avoid being struck. Just south of the intersection a red Ford Taurus was attempting to move to the shoulder when it was struck by the Chevrolet. The suspect vehicle continued to flee at a high rate of speed when the trooper discontinued the pursuit. No one in the Taurus was injured.

Troopers in Sussex County began to receive numerous calls on the reckless driving of the Chevrolet. Milford and state police found the vehicle again on U.S. 113 in the area of Milford. Police eventually found the suspect vehicle at 21000 block of Cubbage Pond Road near Lincoln.

Evidence located implicated Henry as the operator. Warrants are on file at Troop 3 for the numerous traffic charges including failing to stop for a police officer, driving while suspended, reckless endangering and reckless driving.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of Henry they are asked to call their local police and report his location. Calls may also be phoned in to state police at Troop 3 by dialing 302-697-4456.

what's "ruff" is the fact that one eyed willis got away and apparently has better driving skills to elude police with one eye then they do with two. That's ruff.

No whats "ruff" is that trooper made a good decision to discontinue the pursuit because of his erratic driving and that trooper was thinking about the safety of all the people on the road. I am sure had they continued the pursuit the one eyed bandit would have been caught.... Good work on DSP's half as well as Georgetown PD
