Second person charged in connection to 30-minute police chase

Horry County police have charged a second person in connection to a 30-minute car chase Wednesday.

Randy M. Davis, 25, of Conway was charged with driving under suspension, reckless driving, malicious injury to personal property, failure to stop for blue lights, violating the seat belt law and resisting arrest Thursday, according to jail records.

Dakota Deal, 24, of Conway was charged with forgery and violation of the seat belt law on Wednesday, according to jail records.

Horry County police say they were called to a home on Willard Road in Conway where Deal – a fugitive – was suspected to be around noon.

“Officers arrived as the fugitive left in a black sport utility vehicle,” said Lt. Raul Denis, spokesman for Horry County police.

Officers quickly caught up with Deal, but the driver of the SUV, identified only as a 25-year-old Conway man, refused to pull over and led officers on a more than 30-minute chase, Denis said. “Officers were able to use tire-deflation devices to flatten the car’s tires, which eventually brought the chase to an end.”
