Chase Ends In Walmart Parking Lot

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.

When she jumped and ran, her car rolled into the deputy’s patrol car causing minor damage. 

A male passenger remained in the Mercedes.



Deputies found suspected methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana and cash in the car. 

The driver was apprehended and placed under arrest.
