Allen Stone, of King George, was spotted by a deputy failing to maintain lane in a Toyota Scion xB around 6:25 p.m. Jan. 21 on Barrett Heights Road in Stafford, Sheriff David Decatur said.
Stone ran the stop sign and turned onto westbound Garrisonville Road, police said. Deputy Bates followed the vehicle as it turned onto Eustace Road. He tried to conduct a traffic stop on Rocky Way Drive, but Stone sped up to 60 mph in the residential area and initiated a pursuit, Decatur said.
The pursuit briefly ended at the intersection of Rocky Way Drive and Larkwood Court when Stone failed to navigate the turn and careened into the snow filled ditch. Somehow, he was able to coax the Scion from the small gully and the chase continued through the subdivision.
Stone then turned onto Burns Road, then Settlers Way and then made a critical error with a right hand turn back onto Larkward Court, into the cul-de-sac.
At the literal end of the road, Stone was pinned in by Sergeant M.L. Jacobeen, Deputy Bates and the woods. The 4-minute pursuit covered just one and a half miles.
Still, Stone refused to cooperate at the conclusion of the chase and would not get out of the Scion, Decatur said. Deputies continued to negotiate, as neighbors provided fresh Wawa coffee to the deputies on perimeter.
Finally, after an hour of negotiations, Stone surrendered and was taken into custody.
Stone was found to be wanted for contempt of court in Prince William and deputies found drugs in the Scion. Stone was served the outstanding warrant and additionally charged with felony eluding, driving under the influence of drugs, driving revoked, obstruction, possession of a controlled substance, reckless driving, aggressive driving, a traffic lane violation and three counts of failing to stop at a stop sign. He was held without bond at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
