STAFFORD, Va. (WRIC) — Two Stafford sisters were arrested and are facing multiple charges after a pursuit with Stafford County officers resulted in a crash on Friday afternoon.
On Friday Feb. 17 at 3:22 p.m., an officer with the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office pulled over a gold Nissan Maxima on Warrenton Road after the driver did not yield to oncoming traffic.
The driver gave the officer a fake name and when a second officer saw that she was “extremely nervous,” the driver said she had never been pulled over. When one of the deputies realized that she had several active warrants, the driver drove away, beginning a pursuit with the officers.
The suspect drove northbound onto Warrenton Road and ran through two red lights before driving off the road near the the intersection at Plantation Drive. The car stopped after crashing into a crosswalk signal.
The driver then got out of the car and tried to run, but was apprehended by an officer. The passenger also tried to run but was apprehended in a nearby Taco Bell parking lot.
The driver was identified as 19-year-old Kelzy Young. Young was wanted for three fail to appear warrants in Stafford County and two outstanding warrants in Fredericksburg. The passenger was identified as 21-year-old Sharlynia Young. According to the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office, the two women are sisters.
Kelzy Young was served her outstanding warrants and charged with eluding law enforcement, possession of a controlled substance, identity theft, false identification to law enforcement, hit-and-run, obstruction of justice, reckless driving, driving without a license, failure to yield and having an expired inspection. Sharlynia Young was charged with obstruction of justice and possession of a controlled substance.
Both women are being held without bond at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
