OCEAN CITY – On March 9, at approximately 12:40 p.m., Ptl. Anthony Fearnhead, attempted to make a motor vehicle stop in the 800 block of Bay Avenue here for a traffic violation.
As the officer activated his overhead lights the suspect vehicle attempted to elude the police officer by accelerating and making several turns through neighborhood streets.

All occupants of the vehicle, two males and one female, attempted to flee on foot from the officer.
Ptl. Fearnhead was able to apprehend Trey Dietrich a short distance from the vehicle and radioed a description of the other suspects to communications.
