police cruisers pursued Mahoney at high speed from Front Royal to the town of Washington where Mahoney crashed into a bank on Fodderstack Road.

Mahoney fled from the car on foot, leaving a passenger, Susan Cash, in the abandoned vehicle. Witnesses report that police fired several shots at the man. Mahoney escaped capture and was arrested later that night after being treated for a gun shot wound in the arm at Warren Memorial Hospital.

According to assistant Commonwealth Attorney Casey Struckman, charges of felonious assault and driving on a revoked license have been filed against Mahoney in Warren County.

Mahoney is free on $1,000 bond for the Commonwealth’s charges.

Front Royal town warrants have been filed against Mahoney for reckless driving and failure to stop for a police officer. In Rappahannock County, Front Royal policeman Kevin W.
