Fast-footed cop nabs fleeing driver in Oxford after false ID drama
Routine Check Sparks Dash
A man is in custody after trying to make a break during a routine traffic stop in Oxford. The driver was hauled over with a vehicle and trailer for standard checks. While the trailer checked out fine, the driver kept feeding officers false personal details, immediately raising red flags.
Marathon-Runner Cop Chases Down Suspect
Frustrated by the growing delay, the driver suddenly bolted. But he didn’t get far. PC Tillyer, a Roads Policing Taskforce officer and seasoned marathon runner, gave chase and swiftly tackled the fugitive before he could escape.
Serious Charges After Swift Arrest
The driver was arrested on the spot and now faces multiple charges, including:
- Immigration offences
- Possession of a Class B drug
- Driving while disqualified
“Thanks to the persistence of officers — and some impressive sprinting from PC Tillyer — this individual was safely apprehended,” said a police spokesperson.
The investigation remains ongoing as police piece together the full story.
