Date of Incident: 18 January 2014

Location: Northwood Drive, Salisbury, MD

Suspect: Kia Monique Savage, 37, Salisbury, MD

                                 

Narrative: On 18 January 2014 at 10:56 PM, a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle operated by Kia Savage for an equipment violation. Savage pulled to the side of the road but accelerated away after the deputy exited his patrol vehicle and approached Savage. The deputy returned to his vehicle and pursued Savage who headed towards U.S. 13. Savage was able to elude the deputy after turning off the headlights on her vehicle.

The deputy responded to the address of the registered owner of the vehicle and waited for Savage to return which she ultimately did. Savage admitted to the deputy that she fled because her privilege to drive had been suspended and she was afraid the deputy might arrest her for driving suspended.

The deputy placed Savage under arrest and transported her to the Central Booking Unit where she was processed and taken in front of the District Court Commissioner. After an initial appearance, the Commissioner detained Savage in the Detention Center in lieu of $15,000.00 bond.
