ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A man has been charged after an attempted theft of a trailer and a high-speed chase, according to the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators say Patrick Michael Reagan, 36, of Greensboro, attempted to steal a trailer from a Leesville estate on Friday morning.
As he was leaving home with his trailer, the trailer detached from the hitch of the truck he was driving, the agent said.
The property owner, alerted to the attempted theft by his surveillance system, called 911 and asked for a representative to respond to Reagan’s whereabouts, officials said.
Investigators say they intercepted Reagan’s truck and tried to pull him over. However, he continued to drive and a high-speed chase began, the agent said.
Investigators say the chase was called off after passing through Rockingham, Guildford and Forsyth counties, due to safety concerns due to the high population density at the time.
Reagan was subsequently taken into custody and charged with:
- Felon Runs To Get Away
- Driving while license is revoked
- don’t stop at red lights
- Driving left from center
- felony theft
- felony of possession of stolen property
- felony attempted theft
- injury to personal property
- property damage
Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page thanked the Guildford County Sheriff’s Office for his cooperation with the investigation.
Reagan is currently in custody in Guildford County, where he is also being charged.
