Three men face charges after a police pursuit from Woodbridge to Arlington.
Here’s the latest from Virginia State Police:
At approximately 12:53 p.m. Wednesday, a Virginia State Police trooper was on patrol along Cardinal Drive (near Minnieville Road) in Dale City when a 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe with an expired inspection sticker passed by.
The trooper initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle, which refused to stop and sped away from the trooper. The suspect vehicle made its way to the Prince William Parkway and then northbound on Interstate 95 and then into Arlington County on I-395. The Tahoe took the Glebe Road exit and continued into a residential neighborhood. The driver and two passengers pulled up to a residence on South Veitch Street, parked the Tahoe, fled the vehicle on foot and broke into the residence.
State police entered the residence and took all three males into custody without incident. No one was at the residence at the time it was broken into.
The driver, Kenneth M. Kelley Jr., 27, of Washington, D.C., has been charged in Arlington County with one felony count of eluding law enforcement and one count of unlawful entering of a dwelling.
