Police blotter: Maryland man charged with DWI after police chase

A Maryland man is facing a host of charges after he allegedly led officers on a short police chase while intoxicated, according to Monday’s Fairfax County Police blotter.

The 32-year-old man, is charged with driving while intoxicated (with a blood-alcohol level greater than .20), drinking while driving, obstruction of justice, reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, and felony eluding.

Police say the chase began after an officer tried to pull the suspect over in the 7300 block of Richmond Highway (see map) around 1:45 a.m. on Saturday for speeding and an equipment violation. The suspect allegedly drove south on Route 1 before turning on Ladson Lane and running into a dead end in the Audubon Estates trailer park, a police spokesman said.
