Felony Traffic Stop Leads To High-Speed Chase
When police in Garrett County, Md., made a felony traffic stop on Jan. 21, 2011, they didn’t realize there were multiple felons in the car.
Deandre Kelly, wanted for two outstanding narcotics warrants, sat in the back seat as he watched his friend get taken into custody. Amidst the commotion, Kelly seized an opportunity to escape. Kelly jumped into the front seat of the vehicle and took off. Police gave chase and quickly apprehended Kelly when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed. He was transported to a nearby hospital until Jan. 23, when he was transported to the Garrett County Detention Center at 11:30 a.m.
Later that evening, around 8:15 p.m., authorities say Kelly managed to escape – while brandishing a handgun.
Kelly is considered extremely dangerous, and U.S. Marshals fear he will not be taken into custody without a fight. Authorities urge extreme caution when dealing with Kelly. During his escape, police say Kelly assaulted two correctional officers with a handgun. Originally, Kelly fled the D.C. metro area, but police have reason to believe he has returned. Sightings have placed him in College Park, Md., and he was also tracked to Silver Spring within the vicinity of the Seven Spring Village Apartments.
Kelly has an extensive social network ranging as far as North Carolina, but U.S. Marshals believe he is taking refuge somewhere in D.C. or Maryland. If you know anything regarding Kelly’s whereabouts, call 1-800-CRIME-TV. You can remain anonymous.
