Driver Attempted To Run Over Police Officer

Trevin  Quashau Allen

On June 9, 2013, at approximately 3:45 a.m., Ocean City Police responded to McDonald’s restaurant located at 32^nd Street and Coastal Highway, in reference to a disturbance.  Officers arrived at the scene and began to break up a fight between a male suspect and the McDonald’s manager. Another male believed to be part of the fight jumped in the rear seat of a white colored Mitsubishi 4-door and attempted to flee the scene.

In an attempt to identify the suspects involved in the fight, officers on foot approached the Mitsubishi.  While standing in front of the car, one officer placed his hand on the hood of the vehicle and told the driver to stop the car and exit the vehicle. The driver, who looked directly at the officer, revved the engine and drove forward toward the officer, who was able to get out of the way.

A short time later police located the suspect vehicle in the parking lot of 501 Penguin Drive.  The driver, who was identified as Trevin Quashau Allen, 20, of Salisbury, was arrested and charged with first and second degree assault, attempt by driver to elude uniformed police by failing to stop vehicle, reckless driving and negligent driving. 

Allen was seen by an Ocean City District Court Commissioner and was released on $25,000 unsecured bond.
