As Sergeant Jett was beginning to approach the vehicle, the vehicle took off at a high rate of speed. A pursuit was initiated.

The vehicle continued to flee northbound on Warrenton Road, drifting back and forth between lanes and continuing to drive at high speeds. The vehicle then abruptly got onto I-95 and continued to flee in the northbound lanes. The vehicle eventually exited onto Courthouse Road.
