Officers with the Granite Quarry-Faith Joint Police Department on Friday arrested James Ellerbre King, 22, a South Carolina man wanted for a number of offenses in Rowan County after a foot chase on May 26.

King was out on bond on a charge of attempted murder in South Carolina.

According to May 26 arrest warrants, King was approached on South Main Street while driving a stolen 2002 Ford F-350 pickup at least 15 mph over the speed limit. He was driving erratically, which led to an accident, warrants said.

Once the vehicle came to a stop, King provided fictitious information to a law enforcement officer, producing identification for a relative whose name was originally listed in arrest warrants as Kendall Walker King. A foot chase followed, and officers discovered methamphetamine and hypodermic needles in the vehicle.

Authorities took James King to the hospital to be treated for injuries, then discovered that the name he provided was that of his brother. King eluded arrest by leaving the hospital without notifying medical personnel.

Charges filed against James King in Rowan County include felony fleeing to elude arrest with a motor vehicle; felony possession of methamphetamine; two counts of misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia; misdemeanor resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer; and felony possession of a stolen vehicle.

He is held under a combined  $76,000 secured bond.
