One man is now in jail following an incident that ended with him crashing into a light pole.

 

Richmond Police Officials were searching for 30-year-old Derick Damrell, whom they say had active warrants.

 

An officer is said to have spotted the man near Lowe’s on the Eastern Bypass. The officer attempted to stop Damrell, who failed to do so, nearly striking two officers at one point.

 

Damrell is also said to have ran a stop sign at the intersection of the Eastern Bypass and the entrance of Walmart, which is where he crashed into another vehicle.

 

Police say the chase ended when Damrell wound up inside a restaurant parking lot, where he is said to have nearly hit two employees. It was there that he crashed into a light pole.

 

Upon searching Damrell’s vehicle, officers found 30 grams of suspected meth, 25 grams of suspected heroin, and pills.

 

Damrell now faces several charges, including trafficking and wanton endangerment.
