Update: 4 masked people fire at Myrtle Beach officers in high-speed chase. 2 arrested

Myrtle Beach Police arrested two people Thursday after they fired a gun at officers and led them on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle.

Myrtle Beach Police officers attempted to approach a vehicle located in the 1700 block of South Ocean Boulevard at about 8:15 a.m. Inside the car was four occupants, all who were wearing masks, MBPD Chief Amy Prock said in a Facebook post.

When officers attempted to stop the car, the car fled and officers were shot at while in pursuit, Prock added.

An officer on the scene of the accident on 67th Avenue North said that one person was injured in the crash and was taken to the hospital. The people in the vehicle fired at officers on Farrow Parkway in Myrtle Beach, the officer said.

Horry County Police assisted in the pursuit.

The county’s involvement in the pursuit ultimately ended when the suspect vehicle wrecked near 67th Avenue North and North US Highway 17, according to a Facebook post by HCPD.

Two people in the vehicle were arrested, Myrtle Beach Police announced Thursday evening.

Riley Pegram, 17, of Brown Summit, North Carolina, was charged with three counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, kidnapping, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen vehicle and failure to stop.

Omarion Glass, 20, of Greensboro, North Carolina, was charged with three counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and use of a person under 18 to commit certain crimes.

The other two people in the vehicle are not facing charges and were released into state custody, Myrtle Beach Police said.

Roads were closed on Farrow Parkway in Myrtle Beach and the area of 67th Avenue North off of Highway 17 North as police investigated.

Prock said in the video that the chase began on South Ocean Boulevard near the Twilight Surf Motel. The vehicle appears to have been stolen from North Carolina.

Myrtle Beach Police Department requested assistance from HCPD about 8:30 a.m. May 22 to pursue a suspect driving a stolen vehicle, according to an Horry County Police Facebook post.

Prior to HCPD becoming involved in the pursuit, the suspect was seen driving the wrong way in traffic and driving at excessive speeds, the post said.
