Original Release
Maryland State Police and allied law enforcement agencies are searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a report of a stolen vehicle who led police on a multi-state pursuit this morning.
At approximately 1:45 a.m., troopers from the Maryland State Police North East Barrack began pursuing on MD 222 a vehicle reported stolen from Charles County. According to investigators, the initial pursuit began with police in Ocean City, Maryland and continued through Delaware before entering back into Maryland in Cecil County.
As the suspect entered Perryville, Maryland, he began to drive down the CSX railroad tracks. Perryville Police Department officers pursued the suspect down the tracks. The suspect vehicle eventually stopped and turned around and then drove toward the Perryville officers, who were then on foot. At least one Perryville officer fired multiple rounds at the suspect vehicle. It was unknown if the suspect was struck. No one else was injured as a result of the shooting.
Investigators believe the suspect bailed out of the vehicle and ran into a wooded area by the tracks. A perimeter was set up by troopers from the North East and JFK barracks as well as Perryville police. Members of the Maryland State Police STATE team and K9 Unit also participated in the search effort.
The suspect remains at large and may be armed. Maryland State Police, along with the Perryville Police Department, CSX police and the Delaware State Police are continuing in the search effort. Police throughout the region have been notified.
Maryland State Police homicide detectives will be investigating the shooting by the Perryville police officer per request of their department.

ReplyDeleteIf it started in OC, then their license plate scanners detected the “hot tag”.
ReplyDeleteF those lic scanners unconstitutional.
DeleteGet them boys from Greenville SC. He won't get away from that dude on Live PD. Just how the heck can he stay ahead of the boys in blue, tire strips, and all the pit maneuvers for that long. Must have been the cops that were chasing your former states attorney some years back.
ReplyDeleteI would have dove through the drivers window and knocked him out. I’ve done it once before.
ReplyDeleteWow you're a badass
DeleteAnd you got lucky. I wouldn’t push your luck use all this surveillance state tech you have
DeleteLet me guess?? He ran a stopped school bus??
ReplyDeleteOur tax dollars at work
ReplyDeleteState Police are just another tax
on WE THE PEOPLE
their salaries, vehicles, Barracks, pensions , uniforms are paid for by tax dollars
they cannot even stop a moving car man
but they sure as hell will jump out in the road with their green superman vests on
to make you pay more taxes...

I wonder how far the Ocean City Police went to pursue him. Little sissy ass town cops and Podunk police department.
ReplyDeleteCSX police
ReplyDeleteNow that is something you don't hear much about. Most people don't know what they are or what authority they have.
Unless it has changed recently railroad police can chase you to the moon, walk into your house without a warrant, shoot you in the head while you sleep, and it's all legal. Laws left over from the 1800s, like nav laws on the water.

Northwest Woodsman: Anyone besides me tired of seeing the word “allegedly “ preceding every description of a criminal’s illegal activities? Particularly when they were caught red-handed.
ReplyDeleteWell since we have a constitution that presumes innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.....

That's exactly what I thought. You're damn right I am sick of seeing "allegedly" when they have known, credible witnesses. That's why the Hell they were chasing this damn clown. They know who the Hell he is.

I think you meant the Richmond County, SC Sheriff's Dept. The Greenville Sheriff's Office hasn't been on #LivePD for several years. Since their Sheriff got caught banging a female deputy while married. He hired her as a Deputy and allowed her to act as a sworn officer and she had no training. He left the Sheriff's Office in shame.
