On September 22, at approximately 11:55 p.m., officers responded to a gas station in the 11500 block of Berry Road in Waldorf for the report of a stolen vehicle. The victim stated he left his car running at a gas pump while he went inside to pay. When he returned, his car was gone. Officers were provided a vehicle description and observed the stolen car about thirty minutes later in the parking lot of a business in the 2000 block of Crain Highway in Waldorf. Officers attempted to stop the car, but the driver fled and continued to attempt to evade officers. The driver eventually stopped on Jefferson Farm Road, where he was arrested without further incident. Officers also secured two bulldogs that the suspect had with him. Kingsley Ikechukewu Okafor, 30, of Lanham, was arrested and charged with motor vehicle theft, driving under the influence, fleeing and eluding, and other related traffic and criminal offenses. Officer Butler is investigating.
