Hit-And-Run Suspect Faces 30 Criminal, Traffic Charges
By STEVE GREEN
EDITOR
OCEAN CITY – A two-state, high-speed chase ended in Ocean City Wednesday with police having to use a Taser multiple times to subdue the combative suspect, who now faces approximately 30 traffic and criminal charges. At approximately 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, the Sussex County, Del., Communications Center alerted the Ocean City Police Department (OCPD) that Delaware authorities were on the lookout for a motorist who had reportedly been involved in a hit-and-run incident with an unoccupied car in a parking lot of Lighthouse Plaza in Rehoboth Beach. The vehicle, driven by Brion Adam Kriss, 24, of Frankfort, Ill., had eluded police sight until he was actually in Ocean City proper and that was when authorities were able to “catch up” to the vehicle, according to police reports. The OCPD confirmed during the initial stages of the pursuit information was provided that the suspect was in possession of some sort of large knife, which was displayed at some point during the incident in Delaware. A high-speed chase then ensued in Ocean City and Kriss attempted to get away from Fenwick Island and South Bethany Beach authorities by turning on 134th Street and

heading toward the ocean. The Delaware officers then located the vehicle heading north on Coastal Highway at 133rd Street after it struck a vehicle making an hazardous Uturn. After striking at least two more vehicles on Coastal Highway, the suspect crashed into a pole in front of the Greene Turtle in North Ocean City and then fled on foot. Witness-
es reported the man immediately abandoned the vehicle and sprinted away from the scene. After refusing attempts to surrender, the suspect entered a nearby canal at one point and began swimming to elude capture, and police were able to catch up with him later on marsh land near Channel Buoy Road and Jamestown Road. A Maryland State Police helicopter,
the OCPD K-9 unit and a Coast Guard vessel assisted in the effort. Due to the suspect assaulting police officers during the apprehension, police utilized a Taser multiple times to subdue him while they were on the marsh. As a result of the Taser being discharged, the man was taken to Atlantic General Hospital per OCPD protocol. SEE NEXT PAGE
