ERMA — On Fri., Aug. 13 at approximately 8:40 p.m., Lower Township Patrol Officer Patrick Greene observed a white 2000 Ford Escort with Pennsylvania registration traveling southbound on Bayshore Road in the township’s Villas Section.
The officer observed the vehicle only had one working headlight on the motor vehicle after which the officer conducted a motor vehicle stop on the vehicle for the headlight violation.
As the officer was approaching the vehicle on foot, the driver fled the motor vehicle stop at a high rate of speed.
Greene pursued the vehicle with his overhead lights and siren activated through several side streets in the area.
The driver of the vehicle then abandoned the vehicle on Village Road and attempted to flee the area on foot.
Greene was then assisted by backup S/O. Joseph Gamble who arrived at the location.
The officers pursued the male driver on foot through several yards prior to locating him, attempting to hide under a large raft near a backyard swimming pool.
The officers then determined that the driver identified as Michael W. Bradley, 35 of the 200 block of Cresse Avenue, Wildwood Crest, was emitting a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. A computer check showed Bradley’s driver’s license was currently suspended.
Bradley was arrested at the scene and transported to the Lower Township Police Department for processing where he was charged with the following offenses:
Driving While Intoxicated through a School Zone; Eluding a Police Officer with a Motor Vehicle being a third-degree crime; Resisting Arrest by Fleeing on Foot; Obstruction of Justice; Driving While Suspended and Failure to Maintain Headlamps.
