The first pursuit occurred on Jan. 15; a deputy overheard a call for service reporting a local victim’s vehicle was stolen during a robbery. That deputy was in the area and found the car on Weddington Road.

After attempting a traffic stop, the suspect (later identified as Caldwell) fled ‘at speeds over 100 mph’ but was eventually stopped and arrested, deputies said.

The second pursuit occurred on Jan. 18; deputies were asked to locate a suspect with active felony warrants at a residence on the 900 block of South Rock River Road.

Upon arrival at the home, deputies learned the wanted suspect, identified as Bradley, wasn’t there.

After broadcasting a quick description of Bradley’s vehicle, a Sgt. in the area located him and attempted a stop.

Braley ‘fled at speeds over 100 mph,’ deputies said.

After a continued chase, Bradley eventually turned into his own driveway and was ‘greeted by a UCSO welcoming party and quickly apprehended.’

The third pursuit occurred on Jan. 20; a deputy located a stolen vehicle on Jack Davis Road near Stack Road.

Authorities explained as the deputy attempted a traffic stop, the driver (later identified as Kennedy) fled at high speeds. He was eventually stopped and arrested after a ‘lengthy pursuit’ that ended in Polkton.
