Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to “interact with a suspicious person” around 12:45 a.m. Sunday in the 300 block of South Road Street.
The person, later identified as Khalil Sesquan Mabine, 21, allegedly almost hit deputies with his vehicle as he fled from authorities, the sheriff’s office said.

Mabine lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree at 605 South Hughes Boulevard.
