SEAFORD, DEL. – Two men are behind bars after police say they led them on a chase across state lines.

Police say it began on Saturday just before 10:00 p.m. when the Wicomici County Sheriff’s Department attempted a traffic stop in Maryland. The vehicle, a 2006 Saturn driven by 24-year-old Jaimere Wayman, fled into Delmar, Delaware, where Delmar Police initiated pursuit. Police used stop sticks on Baker Mill Road and Church Street. When the Saturn turned onto Baker Mill Road, it ran over the stop sticks, deflating the tires.

With deflated tires, the vehicle continued onto SR 20, eventually crashing into a residence on Concord Road. When police arrived to the crash scene, both the driver and the passenger, 19-year-old William Brown, were still in the car. Police say inside the car was possible stolen property from a department store in Salisbury.

Both Wayman and Brown were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Both were charged with Fugitive from another State, and Wayman was also charged with several traffic citations.
