Union County chase ends in south Charlotte

Law enforcement is continuing to search for one suspect after taking another suspect into custody.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Union County Sheriff's Office is continuing to search for one suspect after a police chase from their county ended in south Charlotte Wednesday afternoon.

Around 12:30 p.m., the sheriff's office tweeted saying a "vehicle pursuit initiated by UCSO deputies has ended at the intersection of Providence Rd. and McKee Road. One suspect is in custody and deputies are searching for a second suspect." 

Photos from the scene showed a crash between a white Chevy Suburban and a blue Honda RV that occurred in the westbound lanes of McKee Road near the intersection with Providence Road. 

Deputies had attempted to stop the Suburban after a 911 caller near Indian Trail reported the vehicle had been following her, Union County Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Lt. James M. Maye told WCNC Charlotte. 

When deputies pulled in behind the vehicle at a gas station, they noticed the license plate had been removed. The driver of the vehicle fled once UCSO arrived, and a pursuit ensued.  The pursuit ended later when the driver of the suspect vehicle lost control, striking a vehicle at the intersection of Providence Road and McKee Road.

Once the vehicle crashed, two men jumped out of the vehicle and ran from officers. The driver was quickly found and apprehended with help from a victim of the crash. Treyvon Lacalvin Wallace has been charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon Inflicting Serious Injury, Felony Flee to Elude, Hit and Run, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and a "large number of traffic related violations committed during the pursuit." 

The second suspect has still not been identified or located at this time. He has been described as a Black man last seen wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt and brightly-colored camouflage pants. Anyone with information on the case is urged to call 911 or the Union County Sheriff's Office. 

The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department was also on-scene.
