DENVER – A Mount Holly man faces several charges after trying to elude a Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputy who was trying to conduct a traffic stop.

Deputy R. Richard first spotted a White Mercedes heading north on Highway 16 around 2:19am Tuesday. Deputy Richard tried to initiate a traffic stop but the vehicle took off.

After turning south in the 1400 block of Highway 16, the vehicle turned down a driveway, suddenly coming to a stop.

Deputy Richard said David Todd Martin jumped out of the vehicle and ran into the woods. Deputy J. Connor was called to assist Deputy Richard.

The pair captured Martin, who had run about 1/8 of a mile into the woods according to Deputy Richard.

Martin, 38, 156 Antelope Drive, Mount Holly, was arrested and charged with resisting arrest; driving while license revoked; having a fictitious plate; registration violation and having an open container. He was taken to the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center under a $2,250 secured bond.

Martin has since posted bond and has been released from custody.
