Man faces numerous charges after chase

Dennis Caleb Blanton, 20, 7614 Hwy. 98 West, was also charged two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of obstruction of officers, two counts of interference with government property, two counts of criminal trespass, four counts of failure to stop for a stop sign, two counts of limitations on overtaking and passing on the left, and one count each of driving on the wrong side of the road, fleeing or attempting to elude police officers, reckless driving, possession of marijuana, gas theft, driving without a license, failure to yield entering roadway and failure to drive within a single lane.

According to the incident report, deputy Michael Moore was dispatched to be on the look-out for Blanton’s vehicle, a 2000 beige Nissan Maxima with its mirrors broken off, which was reported to be traveling north on Hwy. 106.

Moore met the vehicle on Hwy. 106, turned around and attempted to stop it. The vehicle pulled over, but the driver took off as Moore was exiting his cruiser.

Blanton led deputies on a chase and was stopped a short time later.

In another arrest, Heriberto Mercado, 18, 9574 Hwy. 72 West, Hull, was arrested for disorderly conduct and obstruction of an officer. According to the incident report, Deputy Klint Segars and deputy Jeff Vaughn responded to Tranquility Mobile Home Park on Hwy. 72 regarding a man “running around disturbing the neighborhood – hitting cars with his fist and out of control.”

Deputies found the man standing at the entrance of the mobile home park and when he saw them he reportedly “took a defensive stance and began swinging his arms as if he were boxing.”

Deputy Segars ordered the man to the ground but he did not comply and was tased. Mercado reportedly fell to the ground and was taken to jail.
