OCEAN CITY — A wild chase through the downtown area last weekend ended with an arrest of a Salisbury man on numerous charges, but no serious injuries or collisions.
Around midnight last Saturday, an Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) officer patrolling in the downtown area observed a vehicle traveling south on Philadelphia Avenue make an illegal left turn eastbound onto 15th Street, which is one-way westbound in that area. The officer followed the vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop at 1st Street and Baltimore Avenue.
With emergency lights and sirens activated, the OCPD officer followed the vehicle, later determined to be driven by Jimmy Parks, 51, of Salisbury, as it made its way through downtown streets and alleys, often going the wrong way, according to police reports.
At one point, the officer believed Parks was going to stop in the parking lot of a convenience store at North Division Street because it was illuminated, and the vehicle slowed down. However, Parks reportedly traveled through the parking lot and made a right turn and headed north onto Philadelphia Avenue, which is one-way southbound in that area.
After clearing southbound Philadelphia Avenue and observing no oncoming traffic, the OCPD officer continued to follow Parks as he wove his way through the downtown area. The officer’s lights and sirens were activated during the entire chase, according to police reports. When Parks reached 3rd Street, the tailing officer was told to discontinue to traffic stop.
