A suspect was apprehended on Thursday morning after a multi-county vehicle pursuit ended in a crash. Deputies from both Moore and Harnett counties responded to the incident, which resulted in a temporary standoff between the suspect and authorities.
The chase led Harnett County law enforcement into Moore County and ended when the suspect’s Ford veered from the roadway and crashed. The vehicle left visible skid marks on the roadway before coming to rest on its side near the intersection of Marks Road and McPherson Road, close to the Vass-Cameron line.
After the crash, the suspect reportedly refused to exit the vehicle. Officers held the individual at gunpoint for approximately 10 to 15 minutes until the situation was successfully de-escalated.
Once removed from the vehicle, the suspect was transported by ambulance with a Moore County deputy escort. The condition of the driver and the reason for the pursuit have not been released.
The investigation is ongoing.
