Merriwether man arrested after fleeing traffic stop


web posted November 12, 2009
MERRIWETHER – A man that jumped from a small red truck as he approached a swarm of Deputies has been arrested. According to available information, The Edgefield County Narcotics Division and deputies were in the process of conducting a drug raid around 1 am at an unknown Merriwether home when Noe Aquinaga, 26, of Murrah Forrest Drive, entered the area. A deputy attempted to stop the vehicle which led to a short chase and Aquinaga jumping from the truck and running.

Deputies searched the area trying to locate him but were unsuccessful.

A check of the tag on the vehicle came back to his Murrah Forrest address, although it was registered to a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu, not the red 1998 GMC Sonoma truck Aquinaga was driving. It was towed from the scene and remains impounded at an Edgefield wrecker service.

 Deputies arrived at Aquinaga’s home around 1 pm Tuesday and took him into custody without incident. He is currently being held on a charge of failing to stop for blue lights, however; a custody order has been placed on him for possible additional charges.

The nature of that charge is unknown at this time.

Information on the drug raid was not available on Wednesday due to the Sheriff’s Office being closed in the observance of Veterans Day.
