Per the news release: “On April 27, 2024, at approximately 2:25 a.m., two on-duty Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies were traveling together in a marked police cruiser southbound on Rockville Pike near Flanders Avenue. The deputies observed a black Dodge sedan traveling north on Rockville Pike at a high rate of speed, which prompted them to make a U-turn on the roadway. The deputies then began following the Dodge. Approximately thirty-five seconds later, the deputies activated their emergency lights and sirens and attempted a traffic stop. The driver of the Dodge sedan did not stop.
