A Mocksville man was arrested last week after driving away from a traffic stop and ramming into a Davie County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle.
N.C. Highway Patrol troopers had stopped the suspect on I-40 westbound near mile marker 171 after he had fled the stop at a high rate of speed early afternoon on May 1.
The driver was later identified as Landon Reese Smith, 25, of Turrentine Church Road.
The troopers called for backup from the sheriff’s office after the suspect refused to comply with commands, said Davie Sheriff J.D. Hartman.
“Smith repeatedly kept reaching down towards the center console of his vehice. At one point, Smith drove away from the traffic stop, traveled a short distance and rammed into the back of a deputy’s vehicle,” the sheriff said. “Smith still refused to comply with commands and was removed from the vehicle and arrested.”
A loaded 357 revolver was found in that console.
The highway patrol charged Smith with felony fleeing to elude arrest with a vehicle, DWI, driving while license revoked, open container of alcohol in vehicle, speeding, resisting an officer, failure to heed light or siren, and reckless driving to endanger. He was taken into custody in liue of a $5,000 bond.
The sheriff’s office charged Smith with resisting an officer, carrying a concealed gun, and felony assault with deadly weapon on a government official. He received a $7,500 bond on those charges.
Smith is scheduled to face the charges May 8 in Davie District Court.
