1 hour fugitive recaptured in Chevy Chase, assault at Walter Reed + more - Bethesda crime update

A man who allegedly fled the scene of a traffic accident in Chevy Chase was recaptured after escaping from police custody early Monday morning. The suspect was described in radio communications by Montgomery County Police as a Hispanic male, 5'9", with black hair spiked in front, and wearing a dark grey turtleneck t-shirt, jeans and loafers.

The accident apparently occurred near the intersection of Jones Bridge Road and Montgomery Avenue, but whether more than one vehicle was involved was not immediately clear. A female passenger was transported to the trauma center at Suburban Hospital, according to scanner reports. To my knowledge, no report on the condition of that patient has been released to the public.

Those same scanner transmissions indicated that the suspect managed to escape in handcuffs from the rear of a patrol car. K9 units were called in as police searched the area, eventually joined by Chevy Chase Village Police officers. According to radio reports, police originally arrested the suspect for allegedly fleeing the scene of an accident, and for having materials for manufacturing fake IDs in his vehicle.

Police officers appeared to have created an effective perimeter in boxing-in the temporary fugitive, as he eventually was apprehended on Jones Bridge Road near the original scene. "We got him," an officer radioed about an hour after the manhunt began.
