Chapel Hill police arrested a man who they say fled from a police checkpoint early Sunday morning.

According to police reports, Victor Emanuel Patrick Lopez of Carrboro made a quick u-turn to avoid a DWI checkpoint at Timber Hollow Drive shortly before 2 a.m.

Police pursued the car with lights and sirens, but the suspect reportedly did not stop until blocked in by patrol cars on Piney Mountain Road.

Sergeant Bryan Walker says Lopez was wanted on felony charges in Chatham County.

“When they did get the vehicle stopped, they seized a handgun from the vehicle, charged the person with carrying a concealed weapon and also discovered that he had a warrant out of Chatham County for failure to appear.”
