Major Scott Hall said Deputy Steven Casey was responding to the disturbance call on Sand Pit Road around 7:30 when he encountered a vehicle driven by a man later identified as Hugo Varquez, 25. on Highway 125 in the Scotland Neck area.
When Casey attempted to stop the vehicle, Varquez sped up, but was later stopped on Sand Pit Road and taken into custody.
He was charged with felony speed to elude arrest, reckless driving to endanger, drive left of center, speeding and resisting arrest.
He was released on a $2,500 bond with a July 29 court date pending.
Hall said there was no explanation why Varquez fled.
