On July 28, 2017, at approximately 4:15 a.m., Deputy Nauman from the Charles County Sheriff’s Office observed two vehicles make a U-Turn in the area of Berry Road and Middletown Road, in Waldorf, and continue east bound on Berry Road.
While following the two vehicles, police saw the second vehicle had their flashing hazard lights on following the lead vehicle which was a Sports Utility Vehicle. Police paced the vehicles at and estimated their speed at 70 MPH in a posted 50 MPH zone.
Deputy Nauman activated his emergency equipment to perform a traffic stop on both vehicles. The second vehicle stopped and identified himself as an off-duty police officer. The lead vehicle (Sport Utility Vehicle) accelerated onto Greenwood Drive in an attempt to flee from the scene. As the vehicle began to flee police observed the vehicle cross Berry Road onto Greenwood Drive failing to yield to oncoming traffic, this caused a vehicle who had the right of way to come to stop and avoid hitting the fleeing vehicle. As police pursued the vehicle onto Greenwood Drive with their emergency lights and siren, a top speed of 52 MH was reached in a residential neighborhood and the fleeing vehicle was still creating distance. The fleeing vehicle turned right onto Water Hickory Court making a wide turn going off the road to the left, then crossed the road again going off the road to the right where the fleeing vehicle crashed into a tree in the yard on Water Hickory Court, Waldorf, Maryland 20603.

Police made contact with the owner of the Cadillac SUV, who was unaware his vehicle was missing. The owner advised he parked the Cadillac at Edelen Place Station, in Laplata.
The owner advised he did not give permission for anyone to have it and it was stolen. He advised the value of his vehicle is $25,000.
When police asked, Toplyn, Adney, and Gonzalez who the driver of the vehicle was, they said it was “mont” or “monte” and said he lives in the residential neighborhood known as ”The Meadows” or Phoenix Run, located in La plata.
