North Charleston Police arrested Tauna Prioleau, 22, and Jalawn Brown, 20, following a high-speed vehicle pursuit on Sunday afternoon. Prioleau faces charges of failure to stop for blue lights and reckless driving, while Brown is charged with possession of a Schedule IV narcotic.
Pursuit Details
Officers spotted the vehicle driving slowly near Dorchester Road and Kent Avenue, prompting a stop attempt. Prioleau allegedly accelerated onto I-26 westbound, reaching over 125 mph, weaving erratically, and ignoring signals while performing evasive moves.
Chase Conclusion
The pursuit spanned exits to Ashley Phosphate Road, Rivers Avenue, and streets like Remount Road and Yeamans Hall Road. Despite losing a rear tire, it ended when the car hit a curb; a felony stop secured three occupants.
Arrests and Evidence
Officers detected marijuana odor, finding a rolled dollar bill with pink oxycodone hydrochloride in Brown’s pocket and a marijuana cigarette in the vehicle. Both were booked at Al Cannon Detention Center; Prioleau posted $10,000 bond, and both were released on personal recognizance.
