Det. Tracy quickly made his way towards the bridge and saw the vehicle in question traveling on Howley Street. Det. Tracy followed the vehicle while awaiting additional back-up units. The vehicle appeared to park at the intersection of Pearl Street & Rosina Way, at which time Det. Tracy exited his police car and approached the occupants, ordering the driver to turn off the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle, later identified as Robert Lewis Kemp, immediately pulled off and fled the scene in the vehicle. Near the intersection of Liberty Avenue & Pearl Street, Kemp nearly struck a pedestrian and threw a firearm out the window as he continue to flee. Because of the danger presented to the public, the pursuit was terminated. Moments later, the Toyota was found wrecked into a parked car in the 4000 block of Howley Street. A female passenger, identified as Valene Reed, was still in the vehicle. Reed was detained and a gun was recovered from the vehicle. Officers from Zones 2, 4, and 5 quickly converged on the area and established a perimeter. A K-9 team was called to the scene and began a thorough search of the area. Kemp was eventually found hiding in the basement of a home in the 4000 block of Woolslayer Way and was taken into custody without further incident. The gun originally discarded during the pursuit was recovered by backup units. Both firearms were found to be BB guns. Kemp was charged with Fleeing & Eluding, Receiving Stolen Property, Tampering with Evidence, Criminal Trespass, and Hit & Run. Reed was charged with Tampering with Evidence. Both Kemp and Reed were also wanted on outstanding bench warrants. The original robbery remains under investigation.
