A 22-year-old man is facing a long list of charges after a late-night incident in Greensboro that began with a vehicle spinning “donuts” on a city street and ended with a crash, an arrest and an additional charge involving medical staff.
According to the Greensboro Police Department, officers encountered a black Jeep at about 12:40 a.m. on Wednesday, April 22, on North Elm Street near West Fisher Street. Police say the vehicle was spinning its tires and doing “donuts” in the roadway and nearly struck a patrol car.
Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but a pursuit began on suspicion of impaired driving.
Police report that the driver, identified as Tanner James Crowder, ran off the road on Huffman Street and struck a utility pole support wire.
He was then taken into custody.
Crowder faces multiple charges, including driving while impaired, open container of alcohol, felony speeding to elude arrest, careless and reckless driving, failure to maintain lane control, driving left of center, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle, and failure to stop for a steady red light. He was also charged with assault on medical staff.
Crowder received a $5,000 unsecured bond, which has since been posted.
“…a $5,000 unsecured bond…”?
What sort of brain dead, uncaring ……person who is daring to call themselves a magistrate releases a clown like this on ANY unsecured bond.
anonymous? really? no actual alias? why not show a little creativity. how about…James, as in James Bond but without the bond as your comment suggests. additional bonus is that this criminal is named james and you deny him bond every time you comment
Just remember when the next election comes up who our Guilford County District Attorney is? This is just another example of her failure to keep our City and County Safe. Loved the professionalism in Winston Salem following the teenager’s fight in a park in Winston Salem that resulted in two Murders. The Winston Salem Police Chief, the Forsyth County Sheriff, and the Forsyth County District Attorney stood in unison proclaiming their disgust with this event! Hooray for them and once again shame on Guilford County!
i agree 100% with both comments. Not revealing the person’s name or holding them fully accountable opens the door for them doing it again. Who made this decision not to publish.
We need the new police chief
Is anyone surprised? Especially the way things go in Greensboro and Guilford County where the law is concerned. Danny is the worst high sheriff ever. Then they bring in this new clown and appoint him police chief and is causing controversy.
We need to get rid of these liberal judges. They are letting criminals out on bail with practically no bond at all. And all these criminals are going to do, is do it again and again and again.
Street Takeover Idiots ruin the reputation of the car community.
I was on my way to meet a friend for an early dinner last summer. I was traveling on Millstream and had just pulled up to the stoplight at the intersection of Mt. Hope Church Road & Millstream. The light just turned red just as I got there, so I waited for the green light. Just as my light turned green, a kid on Mt Hope, in a pretty new-looking Dodge Charger, pulled up to the light as it was turning red. Suddenly, he hammered the accelerator and spun doughnuts round and round under that light from the moment it turned green until it had turned red again. It’s amazing what you will see on the road these days…….
just another lethal toy in the human toybox. complain when he fails to turn up for court – until then u have ‘itch 2 bitch’
? are you nihilist? im confused
‘early morning donuts lead to . . . diabetes etc’
