Our friends at the Henry County Sheriff’s Office had a little “fun” on Tuesday night.
From a HCSO press release…
On July 21, 2009, at approximately 6:23 p.m., the Henry County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Hampton Inn located in Collinsville, Va. after receiving a report of suspicious circumstances involving 2 occupied vehicles in the parking lot. Both vehicles left the premises prior to deputies arriving at the scene. The vehicles were then located at a nearby convenience store on Rt. 220. Corporal K. S. Keen stopped a gray 2001 Buick being driven by a female on Lafayette Avenue in Villa Heights regarding the incident. Deputy Keen discovered that there were no tags displayed on the vehicle. The operator, Cindy Lou Custer, age 39, of 727 Wilson Avenue, Martinsville, Va. was ticketed by Deputy Keen for failure to display tags on vehicle. Deputy Keen located and seized drug paraphernalia found in the vehicle, which is presently under investigation.
Deputy T. L. Frye attempted to stop the other vehicle, a gray 1987 Chevrolet Caprice, at Bojangles Restaurant in Villa Heights, which was being driven by Marvin Leron Webb, age 29, of 285 Riverview Court, Martinsville, Va. Mr. Webb failed to stop for Deputy Frye. Deputy Frye pursued Mr. Webb through the Koehler area, Fieldale area, and onto the 220 bypass heading north. Mr. Webb exited the bypass onto Route 220 Business at the Collinsville exit, then made a U-turn and drove back to the bypass heading south. Mr. Webb traveled south on the bypass and exited onto Joseph Martin Highway. He then got back onto the 220 bypass heading north and exited onto Route 58 West where he continued to be pursued into Patrick County. Mr. Webb lost control of his vehicle into a guard rail approximately 8 to 9 miles into Patrick County.
Deputy Frye arrested Marvin Webb for felony elude law enforcement officer, and for reckless driving and driving while suspended, which are misdemeanor charges. Mr. Webb was incarcerated in the Henry County Jail with no bond. A search of the vehicle discovered a handgun and contraband, which is currently under investigation. The Virginia State Police and Patrick County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the pursuit and apprehension of Mr. Webb.
Congrats to the involved agencies in making these stops and arrests!
