Unsecured Bond Granted to Duo Who Fled, Crashed Into Trooper, Resisted Arrest

DEBARYLIFE – Following an early-morning pursuit in New Castle County yesterday, Delaware State Police arrested Bryce Jenifer (Right), 22, of Silver Spring, Maryland, and Zion Adeduwon (Left), 22, of Bowie, Maryland, on counts of resisting arrest and drug offenses.

According to officials, on April 24, 2024, at around 1:45 a.m., a trooper on patrol near the Biden Welcome Center and I-95 noticed a white 2020 BMW 3 series heading north on I-95 while equipped with four-way flashers.

According to authorities, a computer query into the Missouri registration of the BMW showed that the registration was fake. The BMW did not stop for the trooper who conducted a traffic stop; instead, it quickly fled. The BMW was driven recklessly on several Wilmington area roads during the ensuing pursuit.

As the BMW got closer to a construction zone on I-95 southbound around State Route 896, the pursuit came to an end.

Following the end of the pursuit, troopers saw the BMW drive into the blocked lanes—where active construction was occurring—despite the lane closure, according to authorities.

After a short while, troopers saw the BMW at Churchmans Road and State Route 4 westbound and made an attempt to stop it. The BMW kept running at a fast speed without stopping.

After the BMW struck a Delaware State Police Tahoe, veered off the road, and struck a mailbox, the car chase came to a stop on West Newport Pike.
