Angel Isaac Cabrera Chirinos, 18, was wanted on a host of charges following a strange scene that played out on Tuesday, Dec. 20, when officers attempted to stop a 2008 Mercedes SC 400 in Woodbridge.

He turned himself in to the police on Monday, Dec. 26, when he was charged with: 

  • Attempted malicious wounding of a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO);
  • Two counts of felony eluding;
  • Two counts of providing false information to the police;
  • Multiple traffic-related offenses.

At approximately 9:20 p.m. on Dec. 20, investigators say that a Prince William County police officer stopped Chirinos near the intersection of Dale Boulevard and Forestdale Avenue for speeding and lacking any license plates.

During the subsequent stop, police say that the officer made contact with Chirinos, who initially provided false information to the investigator that was ultimately deemed to be entirely fictitious.

While the officer was attempting to read the VIN number of the Mercedes, it is alleged that Chirinos proceeded to speed away, striking the officer in the arm with a side-view mirror on the vehicle. He then fled and no police pursuit was launched.

Later that night, a different officer spotted the same Mercedes exiting a parking lot back onto Dale Boulevard, prompting an attempt at a second traffic stop.

It is alleged that Chirinos again sped away and was not pursued. The vehicle was ultimately located unoccupied in front of a residence in the 4100 block of Glendale Road, though Chirinos was already in the wind.

Chirinos had been wanted on the charges following multiple attempts to locate him by the Prince William Police Department.
