HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - A suspect wanted for federal firearm indictments out of Hampton was arrested on Thursday, according to Virginia State Police.

According to officials, just before 5 p.m., officers conducted a routine traffic stop on a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro for improper registration. Police were able to determine the driver, 28-year-old Evan Devon Boyd Jr., was wanted out of Hampton for federal firearm indictments and felony eluding charges.

Boyd refused to stop, resulting in a pursuit on the westbound lanes of I-64 at the 262 mile marker. While taking exit 261A, Boyd struck the guardrail, but continued on to the intersection of Hampton Roads Center Parkway and Big Bethel Road, where he crashed into a 2015 Ford Explorer, police said.

After striking the vehicle, Boyd exited the Camaro and attempted to flee the scene on foot, during which police said he "ate and swallowed an unknown substance." Boyd was caught a short time later, and taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

The driver of the Ford was said to have non life-threatening injuries.

Boyd was served with the outstanding warrants, and charged with the following:

  • Felony eluding
  • Felony destruction of property
  • Possession of ammunition by a felon
  • Possession of schedule I/II narcotics
