Speeding led to a string of additional charges after a man allegedly fled a traffic stop early Tuesday.
Dreshawn Maqual Stanley, 23, of Longwood, was charged with fleeing to elude arrest, failure to stop for a stop sign, no operator’s license and other charges, according to jail reports. He was held under $5,000 secured bond.
The sheriff’s office reported that around 3:28 a.m., a deputy clocked Stanley driving east at more than 80 miles per hour near the town of Brunswick on N.C. 130. The deputy activated his lights and siren, but Stanley allegedly fled west.
Stanley was eventually stopped on U.S. 74-76 west when spike strips were deployed, flattening his tires and disabling his vehicle.
