Man Arrested After Fleeing From Police

Released – Sunday, March 02, 2008

Bridgeville- A Greenwood man was arrested Saturday evening after he gave a false name and then fled from the police.

George E. Willey Jr., 43, of the 14000 block of Adamsville Road, Greenwood was arrested on Saturday, March 1^st after he gave a false name to a Trooper who was investigating an assault. A lone Trooper responded to the area of Sand Hill Road in Bridgeville shortly before 6:00 p.m. after receiving a call of someone being assaulted in a fight. During the investigation, Mr. Willey and Deborah D. Moore, 45, of the 14000 block of Adamsville Road, Greenwood could not provide identification to the Trooper and gave fictitious names. The Trooper soon learned the identity of Ms. Moore and that she had warrants for her arrest. While she was being placed in the officer’s patrol car, Mr. Willey began to run into nearby woods. The officer was able to catch Mr. Willey after a short foot chase, and he was subdued after a brief struggle with the Trooper.

When the Trooper returned to his patrol vehicle, Ms. Moore had managed to escape out of the car and flee the area undetected. Mr. Willey’s correct identity was obtained and he was found to have warrants out of local courts. A search of Mr. Willey resulted in less than a gram of suspected marijuana.

Mr. Willey was transported back to Troop 5 where he was charged with the following: Resisting Arrest (felony), Disorderly Conduct (misdemeanor), Criminal Impersonation (misdemeanor), Possession of Marijuana (misdemeanor), Possession of Drug Paraphernalia (misdemeanor), and Driving Under the Influence. He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institute in Georgetown on default of $4639.00 cash bond.

Ms. Moore is currently wanted out of Troop 4 on charges of Robbery First Degree (felony), Offensive Touching (misdemeanor), and Criminal Mischief (misdemeanor). She is also wanted by Troopers at Troop 5 for Escape Third Degree (misdemeanor), Criminal Impersonation (misdemeanor), and Theft  (misdemeanor) as well as other charges out of Sussex County Court of Common Pleas.

Anyone with information with Ms. Moore’s whereabouts is asked to call 302-337-1090 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.
