Stafford County Sheriff’s Office: “A repeat trespasser was discovered to be trespassing once again and attempted to avoid his fate. On December 22nd at approximately 8:13 p.m. Deputy X.D. Bates was in the area of Garrison Woods when he observed Trevor Sutphin, 23, of Orange, driving a vehicle. Deputy Bates was familiar with Sutphin and knew he was trespassed from the area.”
“Deputy Bates began following the vehicle when he observed him make several traffic infractions. As the vehicle entered Northbound I-95, Deputy Bates turned on his emergency equipment to conduct a traffic stop. While Sutphin pulled over, it wouldn’t take him long to jump out of the vehicle and flee into the woods. A perimeter was established, but deputies were unable to locate him.”
