The deputies tried to stop the man’s car on Old Bunch Road, but he sped away, leading to a chase. Eventually, his SUV crashed into a ditch, and he tried to escape on foot but was caught at 5:40 p.m. near Woodie Drive.
The suspect is 41-year-old Rayshon Nelson Treadwell from Henderson. The Wake County Sheriff’s Office mentioned that these charges against Treadwell were actually from the Henderson Police Department, not Wake County.
