Officers heard a shot come from a patch of woods on Shue Road near Leazer Road as they were searching for three of the five suspects who ran there from the Chevrolet Camaro in which they were traveling.

Around 2 a.m. Sunday, Rowan County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Randy St.Clair attempted to pull the Camaro over on North Main Street.

When the car did not stop, St. Clair began pursuit and notified the North Carolina Highway Patrol to assist.

The Camaro traveled West on N.C. 152 West and turned onto Miller Road. The cars reached speeds of 80 mph, according to the report.

The suspect vehicle led the chase down Miller Chapel Road and then onto Shue Road, where the driver stopped the car about 300 yards from the intersection.

Five males ran from the vehicle and two passengers were immediately detained.

Deputies searched for three suspects in some woods near Shue Road and Leazer Road.

Deputy Carmon Williams and his canine “Roc” responded to the scene of the search to locate the suspects. A highway patrol helicopter was unable to assist in the search because of the thick trees. China Grove and Landis police set up a perimeter around the area.

“Roc” was able to locate the suspects and Rigoberto Botello Rosales, 26, 114 Crawford St., Salisbury, was charged with felony speeding to elude arrest, possession of one-half ounce marijuana, driving without a license and resist, delay and obstruct.
