Four Arrested After Car Chase in Boone

April 19, 2012. A number of suspects were located and arrested after a Wednesday evening police chase on the outskirts of Boone.

Boone Police were on the lookout for a stolen vehicle that had run from officers on an earlier occasion. A Boone officer spotted the vehicle near Fairway Drive and the vehicle and four occupants fled. Just as the ensuing pursuit began and as additional Boone Officers, Watauga Sheriff’s Deputies, and North Carolina Highway Patrolmen arrived to search for the vehicle, Boone 911 telecommunicators received calls from the Donnie’s Drive area reporting that the vehicle had crashed and the occupants had run through the Kellwood area yards. A final 911 call was received from a Fairway Drive resident who stated three strangers were in her home and that she had held them at gunpoint before they fled – into the waiting presence of a Watauga Deputy.
