DUNN – A routine traffic stop on Tuesday turned into a chase through two counties before police were able to apprehend one of the suspects.
Captain M.D. Smith with the Dunn Police Department reports Officer Blanchard attempted to stop a Nissan Frontier which was occupied by a female driver and male passenger.
When Blanchard initiated his blue lights the vehicle failed to stop. The woman then committed several traffic violations before she appeared to have been pushed from the vehicle by the male passenger who then jumped in the driver seat and continued to flee.
