An officer saw a Chevy Malibu traveling north on Moss Street with the passenger headlight not working. Also, the license plate was not a real license plate. The officer pulled out onto Moss Street to attempt to conduct a traffic stop. The Chevy Malibu made a left turn onto Wilcox Boulevard eastbound, and immediately made a left turn heading south onto Dyer Street. The officer attempted to catch up to the car to conduct a traffic stop. Before the officer could initiate emergency traffic lights, a black male opened the driver side door to the vehicle and bailed on foot, running south on Dyer Street. The Chevy started to roll backwards down the hill, almost hitting the officer’s patrol vehicle and struck a fence at 3215 Dyer St. The vehicle continued to roll backwards, coming to a complete stop at 3213 Dyer, causing major front porch damage. The Chevy Malibu was not reported stolen and the vehicle had major rear end damage. Police searched the vehicle to try and determine who the driver of the vehicle was, but were not able to find anything. The car was towed by Mostellers. Both homeowners were notified of the property damage, and no injuries were sustained during this incident.
