On October 25, 2016 at approximately 9:50 p.m. Deputy S.A. Fulford was stopped at the traffic signal on U.S. Route 1 and Centreport Parkway. He noticed the vehicle in front of him was a white Honda Accord. When the light turned green the Honda quickly accelerated and moved abruptly to the right lane forcing the driver in that lane to activate his brakes in order to avoid a collision.

Deputy Fulford ran the tag that was displayed on the Honda as he was preparing to make a traffic stop for the improper lane change. The tag returned as being registered on an Acura and had expired in 2015. Deputy Fulford then initiated a traffic stop by activating his emergency equipment. The driver of the Honda maintained his original speed and did not pull over until the intersection of Enon Road and Beauregard Drive.

Deputy Fulford made contact with the driver and noticed a female passenger appearing to be asleep. The driver stated that he did not have his license with him, was unable to provide a valid registration and refused to provide his name. He then put the car in gear and sped away heading westbound on Enon Road.

Deputy Fulford and Deputy G. W. Motley pursued the Honda but were unable to maintain visual contact after it turned onto Truslow. A vehicle “lookout” was provided to all patrol units and approximately ten minutes later, Deputy Motley saw the vehicle driving north on U.S. Route 17 near Celebrate Virginia Parkway. Deputy Motley attempted a traffic stop and the Honda pulled into a parking lot near the intersection of U.S. 17 and Cedar Grove Lane.

The driver, later identified as Victor Nohel Flores, was taken into custody. Upon searching the vehicle two VA tags were recovered. One was confirmed to be stolen in Fairfax. Flores’ passenger was a 16-year-old female, reported as a runaway from Prince William. She was also wanted from that jurisdiction for Failure to Appear. She was turned over to Prince William County authorities.

Victor Flores, age 25, of Kingswell Drive in Woodbridge, was charged with Felony Eluding Police, Felony Reckless Driving, Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor and Petit Larceny. He was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail and is being held without bond.
