Police officials said detectives tried to make a traffic stop with the suspect, and he fled. Sgt. Earl Nelson said the man is a suspect in a “series of shootings in Middletown — one a homicide.”
He is not a current suspect in a double homicide that happened Saturday at a home on 15th Avenue.
Middletown Police Chief David Birk said the car was rented from a private person in the area and inside was a large amount of cash.
The vehicle driven by the suspect crashed into a detached garage in the alley behind Beech Street to flee from officers.
Police have not released the man’s identity and he was not in custody as of Thursday afternoon.
