What began as a car stop for reckless driving ended up with 26 year old MICHAEL CHARLES facing a long list of charges, including Robbery, Criminal Recklessness with a Deadly Weapon, and Resisting Law Enforcement.
At 10:35 Tuesday night, an EPD officer saw a vehicle driving recklessly near Broadway and Barker. The officer tried to stop the car, but the driver, MICHAEL CHARLES, refused to pull over. CHARLES fled north on Barker and tried to turn right onto Pennsylvania. CHARKES lost control and crashed into a guardrail. He got out of the car and ran across the Lloyd Expressway. While crossing the Expressway, CHARLES fell. He was able to get up and continue running, but he left his wallet and ID on the roadway.
While officers responded to the area of the crash, Central Dispatch received a call from 1410 Delmar about a robbery that had just happened. The suspect had fired shots during the robbery and fled in a car that matched the description of the car involved in the chase. Officers saw a .22 rifle in the front seat of the crashed car.
Officers found CHARLES hiding in a field just north of the Lloyd Expressway. He was arrested without further incident.
During the investigation into the robbery on Delmar, police learned that CHARLES and the victim had been a relationship. They were arguing about the care of a child when CHARLES fired a rifle into the air. CHARLES then took the victims car without permission.
CHARLES was arrested for:
Robbery
Criminal Recklessness While Armed with a Deadly Weapon
Auto Theft
Criminal Recklessness
Resisting Law Enforcement
Hit and Run
Possession of Marijuana
