SALISBURY — A Landis man has been arrested after police say he fled from deputies after running a red light.

The incident began at approximately 9:15 a.m. on Saturday when a deputy was driving west on East Innes Street and noticed a green moped run a steady red light at the Newsome Road intersection, a spokesperson for the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said. The deputy then attempted to catch up to the moped on East Innes Street in order to perform a traffic stop.

The moped then ran another red light at the Interstate 85 intersection, at which point the deputy turned on his lights in an attempt to stop it, the spokesperson said. The moped then turned right onto Towne Cross Street and allegedly drove left around the traffic light and continued down the wrong way of the street. The spokesperson said that the driver looked back and noticed the deputy with his lights on while driving down Towne Cross Street.

The driver eventually turned onto Margaret’s Way, then allegedly failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection of North Arlington Street and turned right, almost running into a minivan. The moped failed to stop at stop signs at the intersections of East Council and Green streets and Green and East Liberty streets as well, according to the spokesperson.

Eventually the driver ended up stopping at a home in the 800 block of Park Avenue, at which point the deputy arrested him. The deputy noticed that the man had red glassy eyes, smelled alcohol on his breath and was slurring his speech.

The driver, identified as 50-year-old Michael Ray Self Jr., was charged with driving while impaired, fleeing to elude, driving without insurance, failure to yield for a law enforcement vehicle, driving while his license was revoked for driving while impaired, failure to stop at a stop sign and two counts of failure to stop at a stoplight. He was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center and given a $3,500 bond.

The spokesperson said that the deputy is waiting for the results of a blood test to confirm Self’s blood-alcohol content before upgrading the flee to elude to a felony charge.
