Why Do Young People Run from Police?

Why do young people run from police? They only get in more trouble!

Ask 17-year-old Isiah Manor. A deputy tried to pull the Augusta teen over for not wearing his seatbelt, and ended up in a chase with the teen that resulted in this long list of charges:
  • DUI
  • fleeing or eluding police
  • reckless driving
  • contributing to delinquency of minor
  • obstruction of law enforcement
  • failure to yield
  • no seatbelt
  • violation of instructional permit
According to incident reports, the fun started around 3:47 p.m. Wednesday when Deputy Kadum Townsend tried to stop Isiah in a 1998 Ford Explorer on McCauley Street near Poplar Street. The teen did not stop, but sped up, causing a brief chase that ended on Dewitt Street after the 17 year old ran a stop sign and struck a van.

Isiah then "exited the vehicle and fled the scene on foot north on Douglas Street," but the suspect was captured nearby and smacked with a load of charges.

Oddly enough, the driver of the other vehicle that was hit -- identified as 30-year-old Michael Lyons -- also fled the accident scene even though he wasn't at fault. Turns out Mr. Lyons was driving without a license and no insurance. He was charged with those two offenses as well as leaving the scene of an accident. In his witness statement, Mr. Lyons says: "I was scared and I know that I shouldn't have been driving and I lied to the officers, and I apologize."

  1. Isiah Manor is not 18-years-old he's 17 years-old.African American young men run because they are scared for there lives they do not know if the police will beat them,kill them,or put drugs on them;because they have done many of there friends like that.They run because African American young men are stereotype.

  6. To the feb. 6th comment....umm so we obviously know where he's getting his ignorance from. this is just a hot mess. he had no seatbelt on, he was drunk, & he was foolish point blank, no excuses for his ill conceived plan to run from the police.

  8. to anonymous defending him. of course no none was there but whter or not you have bond money is irrelevant. what your frined did was stupid. from what i can tell he was in chery tree crossing a housing project where a lot of innocent children play on the sidewalk. i guess if he had hit one of them while fleeing you would have been offering their parents that bond money as burial money. stop believing the crap you see on tv being a ruthless thug does not make you look good. the rappers talk about a life that you and your friends a dumb enough to lead and they are smart enough to leave. trust me plies, boosie, lil wayne, or jay z would not have done any of that dumb crap you or your frined think is cute.

  14. How you get off judging someone that even lives on section 8? or gets welfare...you people disgust me, you just as ignorant as the people that commit crimes, you just show your ignorance different. even if someone lives off of government assistance, doesn't mean there not trying for anything better...and who are you to judge anyways?
