A Caryville man has fled, and woman arrested after an attempted traffic stop last night.
On May 1, 2024, at approximately 7 p.m. WCSO deputies attempted a traffic stop on a White Ford Ranger truck traveling North on Pate Pond Rd. The driver, later identified as 56-year-old, Aldric Deon Brown of Caryville, pulled into a driveway in an attempt to stop but quickly reversed the truck and continued South on Pate Pond Rd. with speeds in excess of 70 mph. Deputies pursued the vehicle which then made a left turn onto St. Matthews Rd. and into a driveway. The Ford truck exited the driveway and struck a patrol vehicle with a K-9 and the Handler inside.
The pursuit continued for a short distance and with assistance from another WCSO deputy, Brown lost control of the vehicle and collided into a ditch where it became disabled. Brown exited the vehicle and continued on foot.
The passenger, Helen Rebecca Montgomery was detained.
A subsequent search was conducted on the vehicle which resulted in deputies locating methamphetamine.
Montgomery was arrested and transported to the Washington County Jail on charges of possession of methamphetamine.
Brown, who has outstanding felony warrants out of Holmes County is also pending charges in Washington County for his involvement in this case.
