A Hollister man was charged Thursday night following a chase with a Halifax County Sheriff’s Office deputy which ended when he crashed near the Warren County line.
Deputy J. Snider responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle around 10:30 p.m. in the 900 block of Tabron School Road. The vehicle was in the middle of the roadway.
Captain Scott Hall said when Snider attempted to investigate the driver, later identified as Justin Rayshaun Hewlin, 22, drove away.

Deputies found Hewlin and a woman believed to be his passenger walking along Tabron School Road.
After another short foot chase Hewlin was taken into custody.
