Sterling man with active arrest warrants from multiple states turns himself in

PLAINFIELD, Conn. (WTNH) – Plainfield police say a suspect who turned himself in Sunday after evading a traffic stop in January was found to have multiple active arrest warrants- including a felony one.

23-year-old David Rajchel of Sterling faces the following charges in Plainfield:

• failure to renew registration
• operation a motor vehicle under suspension
• misuse of plates
• operating a motor vehicle without insurance
• engaging police in a pursuit
• reckless driving
• theft of plates

In Plainfield, his charges stem from Jan. 27, when an officer attempted to stop a black Chevrolet Silverado that was displaying a misuse license plate and the vehicle instead accelerated from the officer.

Rajchel was determined to be the driver in that incident and to have a suspended license and stolen license plate. An arrest warrant was granted by the Connecticut Superior Court in Danielson.

Police said Rajchel turned himself in to Connecticut State Police around 9 a.m. Sunday.

When booked, it was also found Rajchel held two PRAWN arrest warrants for second-degree failure to appear and an extraditable felony warrant for child endangerment out of Rhode Island.

Rajchel was held on a combined $137,500 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned at GA 11 on April 30.
