A 17-year-old faces numerous charges after fleeing police on an ATV Monday afternoon, officials said. Around 2:40 p.m., officers tried to stop the ATV at 2200 Carleton Place, but the driver fled, according to a statement from Officer Crystal Williamson of the Wilmington Police Department. A SABLE helicopter tracked the vehicle and when officers on the ground closed in, the ATV hit a patrol car and other vehicles and caused minor damage, Williamson said. No one was injured in the incident. Officers arrested Trevell Bowen of Wilmington and charged him with possessing a stolen vehicle, reckless driving, hit and run, and assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the incident, according to the police statement.

“It’s frustrating having a hunt ruined by people riding ATVs where off-road vehicle use is prohibited. Many ATVs look the same so there’s no way to identify violators when reporting the incident to law enforcement. There should be a requirement that off-road vehicles used on public lands have license plates or large decals. Any ATV user who follows the law and land management directives on where they can and can not use these machines should have no objection to this type of identification.” - Holly Endersby, hunter from western Idaho |
