CLEVELAND – Saturday night, a Johnston County sheriff’s deputy on patrol attempted to stop a black Mercedes Benz near the I-40 / NC 42 interchange for having a fictitious license plate.



The female driver would not stop and led the deputy through the Lowe’s Home Improvement parking lot then into the nearby Walmart parking lot, before jumping from the car and running.
