2 Kilograms Of Fentanyl Seized After Chase, Crash On I-95 On Sunday Morning: State Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — A Woodbridge man was arrested after state troopers said they found 2 kilograms of fentanyl in his car after a chase on I-95 on Sunday morning. The chase began on I-95 southbound near Lorton and ended near Occoquan Road after the man crashed his car, according to police.

Virginia State Police did not report any injuries as a result of the chase and crash.

Authorities identified the arrested man as Alpha Kamara, a 24-year-old from Woodbridge.

He is charged with one felony count of eluding police, one felony count of hit-and-run, unauthorized use of a vehicle, one felony count of possession of a Schedule I/II drug with the intent to distribute, one count of obstructing justice by resisting arrest, and driving without a valid license.

If convicted, Kamara could face up to 56 years in prison. Kamara is currently being held at the Fairfax Adult Detention Center.

Virginia State Police said the chase began around 3 a.m. on Sunday near exit 163 for Lorton on southbound I-95. A trooper said they tried to pull over a Dodge Charger because it had a license plate that was reported stolen in Maryland.

The driver of the Charger refused to stop and sped away from the trooper, police claimed. The trooper began to chase the Charger.

Two minutes later, the Dodge ran off the right side of the highway near Occoquan Road, police said. The car struck a guardrail before crashing into a ditch.

Police said Kamara ran away from the crash while a passenger in the car remained on the scene.

Troopers arrested Kamara near the crash site. When they searched the car, troopers claimed to have found 2 kilograms of fentanyl pills.
