UPDATE: At approximately 4:20 p.m., Buckingham was apprehended without incident along Route 340 in the Town of Boyce, Virginia. 

VSP is asking for the public’s assistance with locating a Winchester man who fled a traffic stop in Clarke County.

On Thursday (April 13), at 5:28 p.m. a Virginia State trooper conducted a traffic stop on a 2003 Ford Expedition at the intersection of Route 50 and Iron Rail Lane. The violation was for speeding – as the SUV was traveling 77 mph in a posted 55 mph zone. The Ford complied and pulled to the side of the road for the trooper. After the trooper spoke to the driver and returned to his patrol vehicle, the Ford’s driver, Wilson E. Buckingham Jr., 34, of Winchester, Va., fled the scene on foot. Buckingham is 6′ in height and weighs approximately 150 lbs. He was last seen wearing a black tank top with blue jeans.

If the public sees anyone matching Buckingham’s description or knows of his whereabouts, please call 911 or #77 on a cell phone.

A female passenger was detained during the incident, but later released.
