A Manassas man was arrested after attempting to elude Virginia State Police and crashing into a Stafford County deputy and several other cars in North Stafford, police said.
On Sunday, June 19 at 7:05 p.m. deputies received a “be on the lookout” from Virginia State Police for a black Nissan Sentra. A trooper had stopped the Nissan on Truslow Road near U.S. 1 for reckless driving, and the suspect fled the traffic stop northbound on U.S. 1 eluding the trooper.
Crews arrived on the scene and discovered fire showing to the rear of the home, spreading up into the attic. No injuries were reported.
