Wake County, N.C. -- A man is in the Wake County Jail after
he allegedly assaulted a sheriff's deputy, Friday afternoon.
Tony Gladden, 45, was pulled over by Deputy Mark Adams,
Friday afternoon during a traffic stop. When Adams discovered
there was a warrant out for Gladden, he handcuffed Gladden
and put him into his patrol car.
Somehow, Gladden found a way to get into the driver's seat of
the patrol car and tried to escape. When Adams attempted to
stop him, Gladden drove off, dragging Adams 300 yards down a
Holly Springs street.
Gladden eventually jumped out of the car and fled into a wooded
area. Investigators found him Saturday at a trailer belonging
to his girlfriend's parents in Broadway.
As the officers approached the trailer, the suspect took off.
A chase ensued and dogs were called in. Gladden was finally
located under a shed.
Gladden is being held on a $500,000 bond. Adams is still
recovering from his injuries.
