Van slams into FBI agent’s car on I-95, so he chases suspect

An FBI agent headed south on Interstate 95 chased down a driver of a van that struck his vehicle, according to Stafford sheriff’s spokeswoman MC Moncure. 

The male driver of the van stopped at the American Legion Road overpass, and he and female occupant of the van bailed into the treeline. The FBI agent called for help and gave chase: 

From Stafford sheriff’s office: 

An off-duty F.B.I. Agent traveling southbound on Interstate 95 on Friday afternoon, June 17, 2016 noticed a large white Dodge Ram Truck swerving between lanes and driving erratically. Shortly thereafter while traveling in the middle lane of the interstate the white truck ran into the back of the agent’s vehicle. The agent pulled over on the left shoulder and the truck pulled to the right shoulder. Then the agent observed the driver and the passenger of the truck, a man and woman respectively, abandoning their vehicle and fleeing on foot toward the wood line after the accident. The F.B.I. Agent crossed the interstate and began pursuing them on foot, identified himself as law enforcement, and ordered them to stop. The pair continued to run from the scene of the accident.

The agent caught up with the couple and attempted to detain them near the 1100 block of Ramoth Church Road. The man brandished a knife at the agent.

The Sheriff’s Office had been contacted by concerned citizens witnessing the foot chase and several units arrived on the scene. The situation was contained in minutes. Deputies searched both individuals and their belongs, finding drug paraphernalia in their possession.

The male suspect, identified as Isaac Brickley Moore, was taken into custody and charged with Felony Hit and Run, Driving on a Suspended License, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Possession of Marijuana and Assault and Battery. The truck was quickly identified as stolen from Southwest Washington, DC. An additional charge of Receiving Stolen Goods was added to Moore’s litany of charges.

Moore, age 18 of Barrows Court in Stafford, Virginia was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

The female occupant was not charged, said Moncure.
