"During the chase, Pierce reached speeds of 65 mph in a 25 mph zone, ran through three stop signs without slowing and crossed into oncoming lanes, prosecutors said. Also, five 1-pound bags of marijuana were thrown from the vehicle, with a street value of $30,000. The next day, prosecutors said in the court brief, a .40-caliber Glock handgun, loaded with hollow-point bullets, was found by a “Good Samaritan” along the chase route, near the New Hanover County Senior Center on South College." This is the new information that has come out...you still standing by your statement that there was no reason for LEO to hurry for backup? How about we throw in that these 3 guys just held up and robbed other drug dealers. There was also $200k found in the vehicle.
