if the driver is who I think it is, maybe a vehicular manslaughter charge will stick this time. Seems he has already been charged with attempted murder before.

Guess they weren't from around here. Jackass!I do feel sorry for the family of the deceased. As for the driver, it should have been him that died, not his passenger. Thank God this punk ran into a tree and not into another vehicle, pedestrian, etc. He killed his buddy. Sounds like a real winner.

Yeah, I'm surprised the punk driver was able to even walk from that wreck. I could never be a cop, they must have a lot more patience than I do.

The deceased is identified as Francis X. Chase, Jr., 33, of the 43000-block of Palamino Drive in Hollywood. Chase was a passenger in the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver is identified as Tyrone D. Butler, 39, of the 23000-block of Sugar Maple Court in California. Butler was flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to Prince George’s County Shock Trauma with non life-threatening injuries.
The preliminary investigation indicates that around 1:30 p.m. today, a trooper assigned to the Leonardtown Barracks stopped Butler, the driver of a white 1995 Dodge pickup truck for speeding on Mervell Dean Road in Hollywood. When asked, Butler was unable to provide proper identification, but did provide a name.
The name given to the trooper was found to be of an individual with a suspended license. Subsequently, the trooper called for backup assistance to initiate the arrest of the driver.
Once backup arrived, both state troopers approached the vehicle. When asked to step out of the vehicle, Butler fled the scene initiating the pursuit onto State Route 235. Butler led police on a 2.5-mile pursuit until Butler turned abruptly onto Vista Road and then into a private driveway, crashing into two trees where the vehicle came to rest.
Butler was apprehended as he exited the vehicle. Emergency personnel immediately rendered first aid at the scene. Butler was flown to Prince George’s County Shock Trauma Center.
Troopers, along with paramedics from Advanced Life Support, attempted life saving measures on the passenger, Chase. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Maryland State Police CRASH Team is on the scene conducting the investigation. The Maryland State Police Aviation Command, Hollywood Volunteer Fire Department and Leonardtown Volunteer Fire Department responded to the crash.
No charges have been placed at this time. Maryland State Police are consulting with the St. Mary’s County State’s Attorney as the investigation continues.

My 401K is now a 201K
Regardless of who he is - this is a totally unnecessary death.
The Tyrone D. (Darnell) Butler I looked up (08/1970) has quite a rap sheet, however I didn't see the 'attempted first degree murder' one you listed above.

Mama and Daddy Butler sure did a fabulous job raising 2 wonderful sons.
One leads the cops on a high speed chase, killing his buddy in the process. His little brother is a dealer who is stupid enough to go to the scene of an accident with drugs and dirty money on him. Have they both smoked every last brain cell outta their heads? Morons!
