Dorian Evans Arrested Following Multi-Agency Highway 22 Shutdown

A multi-agency police pursuit and standoff ended on a Saturday after officers captured a wanted fugitive, bringing a temporary halt to traffic along Horry County Highway 22. According to a report by WMBF, the operation involved local and county law enforcement working in tandem to locate and apprehend the suspect following an hours-long search.

The Pursuit from North Kings Highway to Highway 22

The sequence of events began on Friday at approximately 6:30 p.m. Myrtle Beach police officers spotted a wanted individual inside a vehicle near North Kings Highway and 1st Avenue South. Authorities identified the person as Dorian Evans, who active records show is wanted for attempted murder out of Virginia, as stated by the Myrtle Beach Police Department.

When officers attempted a traffic stop, the car fled the scene. Myrtle Beach police pursued the vehicle northbound out city limits, prompting a request for backup from the Horry County Police Department. The high-speed vehicular pursuit finally terminated on Highway 22 near Highway 501. Following the vehicle’s halt, Evans fled on foot into the surrounding area.

Search Operations and Eventual Custody

Law enforcement personnel from both the Myrtle Beach Police Department and the Horry County Police Department initiated an extensive manhunt. Officers searched for the fugitive for several hours on Friday evening without immediate success. The containment and subsequent searches resulted in significant traffic disruptions along Highway 22 as multiple agencies investigated the active situation. Evans was ultimately taken into custody the following day, Saturday, resolving the multi-agency manhunt.
