Saturday, August 1, 2009
GREENSBORO — A N.C. A&T police officer was injured Friday night after chasing a car from the university to the intersection of North Elm Street and Cone Boulevard.
The injured officer, whose name was not available Saturday morning, was taken to Moses Cone Hospital with minor injuries.
Dustin Miles, 25, was charged with resist, delay and obstruct, damage to property and three counts of assault on a law enforcement officer, according to Greensboro police.
The chase started around 8:19 p.m. near the intersection of Sullivan Street and Charles Drew Drive when a driver failed to stop at an A&T police officer’s command, who was directing traffic after an N.C. A&T band practice. The driver continued through the crowd, forcing students to dodge the car, which then sped away. Officers chased the suspect north and called Greensboro police to assist them.
The chase ended when the car stopped at the intersection of Elm Street and Cone Boulevard.
Miles, according to police, refused to exit his vehicle and then drove into two patrol cars, injuring the officer.
Officers were forced to enter the vehicle to arrest the man.
Police ask those with information to call Crimestoppers at 373-1000.
