LEXINGTON, S.C. — Lexington Police say a driver who ran from them, crashed, and then escaped on foot has been arrested.
According to a police spokesperson, the incident began when an officer attempted to pull over a driver. Police said the driver didn't stop and drove away from the officer.
The department later said that there was no chase as the reason for the stop didn't rise to its threshold for a pursuit. However, the officer did find the crashed vehicle a short time later in a residential area near Roberts Street and Gibson Road.
Police then set up a perimeter and closed roads in the area as they searched for the suspect with K-9 units and police drone teams.
Around 10:14 p.m. the department confirmed that the suspect had been found and arrested. The perimeter has since been lifted.
The department said it would release additional information soon.
