If a law enforcement officer attempts to stop your car – complete with blue lights and siren – and you don’t stop, there are consequences.

Two Davie men found that out last week after the vehicle they were in did not stop for a Davie Sheriff’s Office deputy on US 64 West near Parker Road. The vehicle was later confiscated.

It was about 3:14 p.m. on Oct. 10.

“The driver failed to stop for blue lights and sirens and fled at a high rate of speed on Sheffield Road,” reported Sheriff J.D. Hartman. “The vehicle drove through a field off Turkeyfoot Road, and was located on Hope Lane (off of Ben Anderson Road.”

The sheriff’s K9 officer was called, and the search began.

A suspect was located at 142 Hope Lane, Brian Matthew Hedrick, 44. He was chargd with resisting an officer by failing to provide information about the driver of the vehicle, who was in Hedrick’s residence at the time, Hartman said. He was taken into custody in lieu of a $5,000 bond, pending a Nov. 7 hearing in Davie District Court.

The driver, Dakota Ray Ferguson, 28, of County Line Road, Harmony, was charged with felony fleeing to elude arrest in a vehicle, operating a vehicle with a fictitious license plate, resisting an officer, reckless driving, driving while license revoked, and driving left of center. He was taken into custody in lieu of a $10,000 bond, pending a Nov. 7 hearing in Davie District Court.

“Ferguson’s vehicle was seized due to the North Carolina Run and Done Law,” Hartman said.
