WILSON, N.C. — A Wilson man was charged with impersonating a law enforcement officer after stopping a police chase last month, authorities said.
Just after 11 p.m. on Oct. 5, Wilson police officers stopped a vehicle at the Food Mart on Ward Boulevard while searching for a possible murder suspect.
The vehicle, which had five men in it, first stopped but then drove off as officers approached.
A police chase went for 2 miles until a black Ford Taurus with blue lights drove past, got in front of the suspect vehicle and slowed dramatically, forcing the vehicle to be pinned between the Taurus and the lead police vehicle.
