A West End man faces multiple charges after allegedly leading deputies on a vehicle chase Saturday.
Moore County Sheriff Ronnie Fields said his department was conducting a license checkpoint in West End in the early morning hours on June 10.
“While Deputies were checking each vehicle that drove through the checkpoint, a vehicle refused to stop when directed to and fled the area at a high rate of speed,” said Fields. “Deputies pursued the vehicle and during the pursuit the offender damaged personal property while traveling through the Seven Lakes West Community.”
Twenty-one-year-old Matthew Hubbard was stopped in Candor in Montgomery County and was arrested.
