High-Speed Chase In Reston: Police

RESTON, VA -- Four men face charges after a high-speed chase in Reston Wednesday night, police say.

An officer on patrol in the area of Sunrise Valley Drive and Fairfax County Parkway at around 8:35 p.m. "noticed a traffic violation" and tried to stop the car, but it drove off at a high rate of speed, according to a report from the Fairfax County Police Department.

The car eventually stopped in the 2000 block of Cocquina Drive, and the driver -- 38-year-old Douglas Arriola Acosta of Centreville -- ran away but was soon arrested after a K-9 dog chased him and then bit him, the report states.

Acosta was treated at Reston Hospital for a bite, and then charged with speed to elude, driving while intoxicated (second in five years), and driving on a revoked license, police say.

Police also charged the passengers in the car -- 38-year-old Ronald Medina Aguilar of Herndon, 25-year-old Jose Timeuz of Reston, and 29-year-old William Guillen Melendez of Reston -- with drunk in public.
