Front Royal Man Arrested After Early Morning Police Chase in Fort Valley
A 20-year-old Front Royal man is facing multiple charges after allegedly breaking into a property and leading deputies on a short vehicle pursuit in the early hours of Sunday, January 19.
According to the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 1:50 a.m. to a report of a possible breaking and entering in the 19000 block of Fort Valley Road. By the time law enforcement arrived, the suspect had already left the scene, but a witness provided a description of the vehicle.
While patrolling the area, deputies spotted a vehicle matching the description and attempted to stop it. The driver reportedly refused to pull over, leading deputies on a brief pursuit before the vehicle was stopped and the driver detained.
