HENRY COUNTY, Va. (rbs news now) — A traffic stop led to a police chase and a drug bust in Henry County on February 13.

At around 4 p.m., the Henry County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Interdiction Unit tried to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation.

The driver, Donavon Andreaus Nibblett, failed to comply, leading deputies on a three-mile vehicle pursuit that ended on Stockton Road.

Nibblett then fled on foot but was tracked by a Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources K-9 to a residence on Willow Court, where he was taken into custody.
