BALDWIN COUNTY, AL. On July 24 at around 9 A.M., a Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office Uniformed Services Deputy initiated a traffic stop on State Highway 59 near County Road 55 in the Loxley area.
The stop was for a violation of having an Expired license plate and for a violation of Driving on the Right Side of the Roadway (32-5A-80).
The driver of the vehicle did not yield to blue lights and sirens and led deputies on a pursuit for approximately 2 miles.
The driver, Martin Nicholas III, then stopped in the center turn lane on State Highway 59, just north of County Road 54 in the Robertsdale area.
The uniform deputy approached the car, identified himself, and requested identification and proof of insurance. The driver refused to present identification and insurance and refused to identify himself.
The driver then drove away from the traffic stop and continued southbound on State Highway 59.
The deputy pursued Nicholas, along with other law enforcement officers, and when the traffic and road conditions were conducive, the deputy performed a successful Pursuit Intervention Technique, bringing the pursuit to an end.
Nicholas still refused to comply as the deputy attempted to take Nicholas into custody.
Nicholas was eventually taken into custody and charged with Attempting to Elude, Obstructing Governmental Operations, and Resisting Arrest.
He was transported to the Baldwin County Detention Center, where he is being held on bond.
