Two North Carolina men were being held Thursday in the Bergen County Jail on gun-possession charges after police arrested them following a chase from Fort Lee to Teaneck on Route 95.
County police charged Solomon Dunston, 23, of Raleigh and Paul R. Mack, 20, of Durham with two counts of possession of a loaded firearm without a permit and assault on a police officer, Detective Steve Blehl said. Dunston, who was driving, also was charged with attempting to elude police. They were being held on $10,000 bail.
The arrest occurred in the southbound lanes of Route 95 at about 9:45 p.m. Wednesday after Bergen County Police Officers Stephen Georgevich and James Giblin noticed the suspects car weaving in and out of traffic, Blehl said.
He said the suspects at first stopped. But as Georgevich reached inside the car to get a driver’s license, the driver rolled up the window and drove off, with the officer’s hand stuck in the window, Blehl said. Georgevich ran alongside the car for about 15 feet before he was able to remove his hand, Blehl said.
Georgevich was not seriously injured, Blehl said.
The ensuing chase ended at the Bogota-Teaneck line when the officers forced the car off to the roadside, Blehl said. As they approached the car, the men threw out a .25-caliber semiautomatic handgun, he said, adding that police found a loaded 12-gauge shotgun during a search of the car.
