Germantown police pursuit ends in ammo arrest


Montgomery County police arrested a driver for possession of "prohibited ammunition" after chasing his vehicle along Middlebrook Road in Germantown. Police say Darius Trayon Jones, 31, of the 2000 block of 38th Street NW in Washington D.C. fled a traffic stop after allegedly driving through a red light at Middlebrook and Waring Station Road.

During the pursuit, Jones allegedly made a U-turn, and drove head-on towards the pursuing officer's cruiser. Jones' vehicle then exited the roadway, striking a tree. He was not injured in the collision, police say, and was taken into custody.

Searching Jones' Nissan Altima, for which police say he had no registration and had attached tags from another vehicle upon, officers say they found 12-gauge shotgun ammo in the front passenger area. Jones has been charged with assault, reckless endangerment, possession of prohibited ammunition, and traffic-related offenses. He is being held without bond at the County's Central Processing Unit.
