When an officer spotted the car matching the description, the suspect drove off. The officer caught up with the car on Whitfield Street where the suspect made a U-turn and drove toward Robeson Street. The suspect then lost control of the car and crashed into a wooded area on Robeson Street.

The suspect, whose name has not been released, was transported to Cape Fear Valley for treatment of minor injuries.

Charges are pending.
