Overview
- A traffic stop on Route 25 before the Bourne Bridge escalated into a pursuit that crossed the bridge after a trooper’s door was open and the vehicle began to move, dragging a trooper several feet and striking at least one other officer, authorities said.
- State Police broadcast information to local agencies and deployed the Air Wing, K‑9 teams and tactical and fugitive units to search for the vehicle and suspect.
- Investigators located the car outside a home in the Falmouth/East Falmouth area where the suspect initially refused commands but was taken into custody by tactical units.
- The dragged trooper was treated at a hospital for what officials described as minor injuries, and police described the case as an active investigation with arraignment expected.
- Prosecutors identified the accused as Armando Deleon in court filings and said he faces multiple charges including assault with a dangerous weapon and was held on a $75,000 bond while his past driving history and actions during the chase are reviewed.
