Wanted man arrested after two-state police chase
HENRY COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) – A wanted man was arrested Sunday morning after a police chase, according to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.
Shortly after midnight the morning of June 2, 2024, the Eden Police Department in North Carolina notified the Henry County Sheriff’s Office that officers were chasing a wanted man, Devron Jacqua Dillard, 30, along Highway 87 heading toward Henry County. Upon reaching the Virginia state line, Eden Police stopped the chase, but notified Henry County that Dillard was wanted and had illegal drugs in the vehicle.
Henry County deputies saw the suspect vehicle headed north on Morehead Avenue in Ridgeway at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour, according to the sheriff’s office, and they tried to pull Dillard over, but he refused to stop.
With Dillard’s reckless driving a potential threat to public safety, a deputy with the Henry County Sheriff’s Office executed a “Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT)” maneuver, causing Dillard to lose control and stop against a guardrail, according to the sheriff’s office. Dillard then broke the window of his SUV and climbed out, leading deputies on a short foot chase, which ended with him in custody.
During his arrest, the sheriff’s office said, deputies found illegal narcotics, including cocaine and crack cocaine, in his possession.
Dillard was charged with the following offenses by the Henry County Sheriff’s Office and held without bond:
• Felony Eluding
• Manufacturing, selling, giving, distributing, or possessing with intent to manufacture, sell, give, or distribute a controlled substance
• Fleeing Law Enforcement Officer
Dillard also had eight outstanding warrants from the Danville Police Department, which were served, and he was held without bond on those charges, as well, according to the sheriff’s office. Eden Police also plan to issue charges against Dillard.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the Henry County Sheriff’s Office at (276) 638-8751 or the Crimestoppers Program at 63-CRIME (632-7463). The Crimestoppers Program offers rewards up to $2,500 for information related to crime. The nature of the crime and the substance of the information determine the amount of reward paid.

4 things to know about the weather:
- A much more comfortable day is ahead with highs only in the lower to middle 80s across the DMV.
- Most of the day will be dry, but a few spotty showers or thunderstorms could pop up during the afternoon.
- Humidity will be a tad lower than recent days thanks to an easterly breeze and slightly drier air moving into the region.
- Monday looks even better with comfortable temperatures, lower humidity before hotter weather returns later in the week.
A welcome change is finally settling into the DMV. Sunday won’t be perfect with some clouds around and the chance for some showers, but most areas should stay dry. Cooler temps than we’ve been used to lately, with afternoon highs staying in the 80s.
Great days to start the week as Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be comfortably warm with noticeably lower humidity (thank goodness) bonus days for summer. Enjoy it while it lasts because heat and humidity arrive by Wednesday with temperatures climbing back into the 90s and continuing to build late in the week.
