High-speed chase ends in arrest after police drone finds driver hiding in the woods
A high-speed police chase through multiple Massachusetts communities ended when the vehicle crashed and the driver fled on foot into the woods, where he was located by a drone and arrested.
Around 2:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police said a blue Jeep Liberty failed to stop for them on Route 24 south in Brockton. The same vehicle had reportedly failed to stop on at least two occasions in the previous 24 hours for both state and Brockton police.
State police pursued the Jeep, which traveled from Route 24 south to Interstate 495 north, where troopers were able to successfully deploy stop sticks.
The vehicle exited onto Interstate 95 south, where it lost a tire and continued on its rim. A second stop stick was deployed, causing the Jeep to lose control and crash as it approached Exit 2A. The driver fled on foot into a wooded area nearby.
State police K9s, members assigned to the Drone Unit and Rhode Island State Police responded to assist in the search for the driver.
With a perimeter in place, a Rhode Island State Police drone located the driver lying in a heavily wooded area in Attleboro. Using that guidance, Massachusetts State Police K9s were able to find the driver, and he was taken into custody without further incident shortly after 4 a.m.
The driver, identified by police as Mohamed Malloh, of East Bridgewater, was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday morning in Brockton District Court on charges including failure to stop for police, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, a breakdown lane violation, speeding, marked lane violation and unsafe operation of a motor vehicle.
Fire broke out at an apartment building in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, on Monday afternoon, sending a column of smoke high into the air.
NBC affiliate WJAR-TV reports the smoke was visible from miles away from the building on Juniper Road.

Life Care Center of Raynham has received a deficiency‑free inspection result from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a distinction awarded to a small share of the state’s licensed nursing homes, according to a community announcement.
The inspection was conducted as part of the state’s routine, unannounced nursing home survey process overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These comprehensive, multi‑day inspections evaluate multiple aspects of facility operations, including staffing levels, quality of care, medication management, cleanliness, food service and resident rights.
State survey records show that Life Care Center of Raynham met required standards during its most recent standard survey, with no deficiencies cited, based on publicly available state data.
The announcement states that fewer than 8% of Massachusetts nursing homes achieve deficiency‑free survey results. That figure could not be independently verified through state or federal data and is attributed to the announcement.
In addition to the state survey outcome, the facility is listed as a five‑star provider for quality measures on the federal Medicare Care Compare website. The five‑star quality measure rating reflects above‑average performance compared with other nursing homes nationwide, according to federal rating methodology.
Officials said the inspection results reflect ongoing compliance with state and federal standards designed to protect resident health and safety. According to the announcement, the outcome is attributed to staff performance and internal quality practices.
