      During the pursuit, the driver sped through highways and suburban areas.

      In a final effort to escape, he leaped out of the Charger and ran on foot.

      He is facing felony fleeing charges along with several other offenses following the botched getaway.

      Let’s be honest – if you think you can evade the police, you’re either an overly optimistic dreamer or someone with a significant misunderstanding of reality. Nevertheless, many still believe they can elude justice by flooring the gas in a strong car. This incident serves as a cautionary tale for anyone considering fleeing from law enforcement: you will get caught.

      Recently, dashcam footage showcasing a police pursuit was shared online, depicting the driver of a Dodge Charger Scat Pack attempting to escape from authorities in Virginia. Reports indicate that when the police tried to pull the driver over, he refused to stop. The matte purple Charger was soon found on a nearby highway, where two patrol cars positioned themselves in front to attempt another stop.

      In a slow-motion chase, the driver once again ignored the police and accelerated instead. After police began tailing him, he was seen turning off the Charger’s lights, likely trying to vanish into the darkness. However, Trooper M. Middleton was able to maintain visual contact with him as he raced down the highway.

      About two minutes later, the driver exited the main highway and entered some smaller local roads. He created a slight distance from the trooper, but it wasn’t enough to evade the police. In a desperate attempt, he veered back onto the highway, pushing the throttle one last time to outrun the officers—but ultimately, it was ineffective. It wasn’t even a moderately exciting chase scene.

      Shortly thereafter, the driver chose to abandon the car at an empty intersection and attempted to flee on foot. As expected, he was quickly caught by the police, as was his female passenger. He was reportedly charged with felony fleeing and a series of other charges, all of which were not surprising given the situation.

      If you attempt to run from the police, you will get caught. It's simply a matter of time.
