GREENSBORO, N.C. — U.S. Marshals and the Greensboro Police Department arrested two people who were wanted for fleeing deputies in Rockingham County, according to deputies.
Last Monday, Rockingham County deputies were searching for two people involved in a chase on Gideon Grove Church Road in Madison. Deputies pulled over Jacob Allen Nugent driving a black Jeep Grand Cherokee with Annabelle Steele Whitten in the passenger seat.
Whitten, according to deputies, had several outstanding arrest warrants.
As the deputies approached the car, Nugent put the car in reverse and struck Deputy Walt Paschall in the left arm, according to the sheriff's office.
Nugent then turned the car and tried to hit Paschal and Deputy Jeremy McCollum again as he fled the scene.
The deputies chased them in their patrol cars, but Nugenet and Whitten were able to escape.
