On January 8, 2026, at approximately 1:15 a.m. Deputy S. Waheed initiated a traffic stop in the area of Warrenton Road and McLane Drive on a motorist travelling 68 mph in a 45 mph zone. Instead of stopping, the motorist accelerated rapidly away from Deputy Waheed and a pursuit began.

The pursuit continued onto Southbound I-95 until the suspect crashed at the mile marker 130 exit. Deputies ordered the suspect out of the vehicle where he was taken into custody. The suspect was identified as Devin Chewning, 25, of Stafford. Chewning had to be transported to the hospital for injuries sustained in the crash.

While interacting with Chewning, deputies noticed that Chewning had glassy and bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and an odor of alcoholic beverages coming from his person. A search of the vehicle yielded the recovery of a suspected controlled substance. Additionally, a second suspected controlled substance was located in Chewning’s pocket.

Chewning was charged with felony eluding, reckless driving, driving under the influence, driving without a license, drinking while driving, failure to maintain lane, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance. Chewning was held under no bond.
A booking photograph was not available at the time of this release.
