The driver indicated he had left his driver's license at home but gave Naughton his name and date of birth. Naughton returned to his patrol vehicle to run a record check and as he was returning to again contact the driver, the subject vehicle fled south on Md. Rt. 4. The vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, passing vehicles on the right shoulder. Dep. Naughton lost sight of the vehicle and when he observed it again, the vehicle had spun out across all lanes of Md. Rt. 4 and crashed into the guardrail in the center median just north of Southern Connector Blvd. The driver exited the vehicle and ran across the north bound lanes, up an embankment toward H.G. Trueman Road and onto the porch of a nearby home. Dep. Naughton drew his service revolver, giving verbal commands, and the driver threw his hands in the air saying "just shoot me".
