Details from uptown incident
The pursuit of a suspect headed south from Delaware came to an abrupt end in North Ocean City around 11 a.m. this morning.
According to witnesses, police from Bethany and Fenwick Island were in pursuit of a suspect in a black Nissan Pathfinder. It is unknown why the suspect was fleeing, although several witnesses at the scene said they had been told the vehicle – which had Illinois tags – had been carjacked.
While attempting to escape from stopped traffic around 118th Street, however, the suspect sideswiped a black Jeep, running it off the road and onto the front lawn of Supremo Cheesesteaks. The driver of the Jeep was taken away from the scene by Ocean City EMS.
The suspect was able to keep driving down Coastal Highway for roughly two blocks, until rear-ending another SUV and swerving his own vehicle head-on into the sign pole for the Oyster Bay Shopping Center, in front of the Greene Turtle.
According to employees, the suspect immediately got out of the vehicle and ran in a southwest direction, with Ocean City Police Department officers – who had been alerted by Delaware agencies – giving chase.
The suspect then apparently jumped into the bay, somewhere behind the Gold Coast Mall, and began to head west through the marshland bordered by Jamestown Road to the north and Channel Buoy Road to the south.
“He was moving from one little island to the next,” said a witness on Channel Buoy Road, who did not wish to be identified. “There must’ve been ten cops here on the docks by that point, but they wouldn’t go into the water after him. They waited until he got close enough to shore and then they hit him with a Taser and sent a dog in after him.”
The suspect was seen handcuffed and on the ground on a sandy island in the marsh, with several officers surrounding him.
