40 year old James D. Hall of Virginia Beach led police on a wild chase that ended in damage to police cars and shutting down part of the highway for several hours. Virginia State Police spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Cotton listed Hall’s offenses as hit and run, eluding police, assault, false identification, driving while on a suspended license, displaying fictitious tags, driving with expired tags, and driving an uninsured vehicle.
The pursuit started at Diamond Springs Road in Virginia Beach where an officer spotted a truck with expired tags which did not belong to the pickup. Police were called in to assist as the driver led the chase down I-264 West towards Norfolk. The truck exited the highway at City Hall Avenue where witnesses claim they saw the pickup hop a curb and speed through the parking lot.
Hall then continued to flee on to I 264 east back towards Virginia Beach. Near the I-64 interchange the truck collided with several police cars and lost control, crashing into a concrete barrier. Hall then ran across the highway into the woods. Police dogs were brought in, and the suspect was found and arrested.
Hall was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. He is being held without bond. Several Virginia Beach Police vehicles were damaged as well as two state police cars, although no officers were injured in the incident.
