UPDATE: Men with Honduran IDs arrested in Mayfield after fleeing

UPDATE TUESDAY:
Two men with Honduran IDs were apprehended Monday after they fled from police during a traffic stop in Mayfield.

According to the Graves County Sheriffs office, deputies attempted to stop a vehicle with what they described as a fictitious Tennessee license plate in the area of Barton Drive and Paris Road. The driver failed to stop, proceeding into an apartment complex on Commonwealth Drive. 

Once there, both the driver and passenger jumped from the vehicle and ran in opposite directions. The driver was apprehended, but the passenger ran across the bypass, jumped a fence and into a field. 

The driver only possessed a Honduras ID card, identifying him as 42-year-old Oscar Orlando. He was charged with fleeing or evading police and resisting arrest. The actual owner of the vehicle has not yet been identified.

The passenger was captured later after he was observed exiting the field and was picked up by a vehicle. He also was in possession of a Honduras ID card identifying him as being 36-year-old Escober Castillo Wifredo. He was charged with fleeing or evading police. 

Both were transported to the Graves County Restricted Custody Center, and later to an out of county detention center. 

Deputies were able to determine that the two men had traveled to the Mayfield area from Nashville.


ORIGINAL STORY MONDAY:
A man was arrested in Graves County after a brief pursuit and a manhunt.

A Graves County Sheriff’s deputy was involved in the short pursuit while trying to stop a vehicle. The chase reportedly terminated at about 1:15 p.m. near Commonwealth Drive. After the vehicle was stopped, the driver and passenger fled on foot.
