Man Tries to Ram Officers During Wild Chase in Stafford: Police

STAFFORD, VA — A man wanted for a shooting last summer in Woodbridge that left another man seriously injured was arrested Monday in Stafford following a harrowing vehicle chase during which officers were targeted, according to the Stafford County Sheriff's Office.

Jamaunta DeShawn McQueen, 21, of the 18100 block of Kilmer Lane in Triangle, was charged with felony eluding, attempted capital murder against law enforcement, possession of a stolen vehicle, driving revoked, two counts of running a red light and two counts of running a stop sign.

Meanwhile, Prince William County Police charged him with one count of aggravated malicious wounding, one count of malicious wounding and two counts of use of a firearm in commission of a felony.

Shortly after noon, a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force asked for help of the Stafford County Sheriff's Office in arresting McQueen, who was spotted sitting in a parked vehicle in a driveway on Maple Leaf Court.

McQueen drove away from the residence, and when police tried to pull him over, he sped away on Greenridge Drive. Another officer set up "stop sticks" along the road, and the vehicle's driver side front and rear tires were deflated.

But McQueen kept on going, driving along Coal Landing Road at nearly 70 mph and then turning onto northbound Route 1. The pursuit continued through the intersection of Garrisonville Road, with tread breaking away from the tires all the way.

Two officers ahead initiated a rolling road block, during which McQueen tried several times to ram police vehicles.

When he finally came to a stop in the 3300 block of Jefferson Davis Highway, McQueen was arrested with the help of a K-9 unit.
