According to sheriff’s department personnel, Sgt. Mitch Carr, 40, remained in intensive care at Duke University Medical Center where his condition reportedly remained critical Tuesday.

Person County Sheriff Dewey Jones said Monday that among the injuries suffered by Carr was “multiple broken bones, several facial fractures, a broken arm, a broken leg, a broken ankle and a collapsed lung.”

Jones said Carr was “in for a long [rehabilitation] period,” adding, however, that “doctors are very optimistic.”

Just less than 24 hours after Carr crashed and destroyed his Ford Crown Victoria patrol cruiser, deputies had arrested Joshua Adam Campbell, 22, of 3520 Bowmantown Rd. on a host of traffic-related charges.

Carr and other deputies were attempting to serve a warrant against Campbell for a probation violation from a previous felony charge and a misdemeanor warrant for larceny before the chase ensued on Mollie Mooney Road, shortly before 9:30 p.m. Saturday.

Campbell, who was taken into custody in Granville County, stands charged with felony counts of fleeing to elude arrest and hit-and-run driving/failure to stop for serious personal injury and misdemeanor counts of reckless driving, failure to heed blue light and siren, speeding and failure to stop at a stop sign in connection with the chase.

On those charges, Campbell was jailed under a $450,000 secured bond.

Tuesday afternoon, Campbell, dressed in an orange jail suit, appeared before District Court Judge Mike Gentry. He was represented by court-appointed attorney Chris Perkins.

Perkins did not seek a reduction in bond for Campbell Tuesday, but informed Judge Gentry he would do so at a later date in Person County Superior Court.

Assistant District Attorney Will Smith advised Gentry that, while the state had voluntarily dismissed the misdemeanor charges related to the chase, the felony charges were still pending and that one day earlier the grand jury indicted Campbell on the felony charge of felonious flight to elude arrest.

Campbell was serving a 36-month probation for an Oct. 29, 2007 felony conviction of obtaining property by false pretense.

A warrant for Campbell’s probation violation was issued March 6 in Superior Court, just two days after a warrant for misdemeanor larceny was issued against him.

According to a sheriff’s department incident report prepared by Deputy Heath Gill, Carr and several other deputies were attempting to serve the warrants on Campbell Saturday night.

Gill wrote in his report that he “had information from an informant” that Campbell was heading to Jimmy’s Corner Store Saturday night to meet someone.

Gill later wrote that he spotted a “dark blue Mercury Sable” Campbell was believed to be operating a short time later on Surl-Mt. Tirzah Road.

“Sgt. Carr fell in behind the suspect vehicle and attempted to identify the subjects in the vehicle,” Gill wrote.

The vehicle did not pull into the store lot, according to the report, but continued to Antioch Church Road where it made a U-turn and headed back toward the store.

“Sgt. Carr then radioed and advised when he met the vehicle he noticed … Joshua Campbell was driving,” Gill wrote. “At that time, I…pulled out of Piedmont Electric to assist Sgt. Carr with stopping the vehicle.”

According to Gill’s report, the vehicle ran through the intersection of Surl-Mt. Tirzah Road and Oxford Road “without stopping.”

The suspect proceeded onto Mollie Mooney Road and “…the speed of the chase was well above the posted limit,” Gill reported.

Sheriff Jones said Monday the speeds during the chase probably ranged between 80 to 100 miles per hour.

Gill later wrote that he saw the suspect vehicle and Carr’s patrol cruiser turn right off of Mollie Mooney Road onto Denny’s Store Road.

Gill added that as he approached Denny’s Store Road, he lost visual contact with both vehicles and as he “continued down [Denny’s] Store Road radio traffic had discontinued with Sgt. Carr.”

Gill attempted to reach Carr via radio for several minutes without success. A short time later, however, “…Sgt. Carr came across the radio and advised he was involved in a wreck near the Allensville Fire Department and that he needed help quick.”

Gill reported that Carr informed him at the scene of the crash that the suspect vehicle had put on brakes at a high rate of speed, causing the deputy to lose control of his patrol car.

Carr’s vehicle reportedly flipped several times and struck several trees before coming to rest in a wooded area.

Carr was taken to Duke University Medical Center via medical helicopter, which landed near the scene of the accident.

Deputies later found the suspect vehicle at the home of Campbell’s mother, Barbara Ann Wallace, 46, in Henderson. According to Gill’s report, Wallace told investigators she was in the vehicle during the chase “…and she did [advise] she watched Sgt. [Carr’s patrol vehicle] go out of control and flip into the wooded area next to the Allensville Fire Department.”

Wallace was arrested by sheriff’s deputies Sunday on a felony charge of hit-and-run/failing to stop for personal injury. She was later released under a $50,000 unsecured bond after reportedly advising deputies of a “possible location of [Campbell],” according to Gill’s report.

Deputies then checked the location on Highway 15 in Granville County and Campbell “was located in a back bathroom,” according to Gill.
