Police will conduct an increased number of holiday DUI patrols, checkpoints and aggressive driver enforcement operations throughout the county this Fourth of July weekend.

         Chesterfield Police are participating in the Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign in conjunction with their Drive to Arrive traffic safety program. Drive to Arrive does it all by targeting key traffic safety elements, such as drunken driving, aggressive driving, speeding and red light and seatbelt violators.

It is estimated that more than 400 people will die in vehicle crashes in the United States this Fourth of July weekend, and half of these deaths will be alcohol related. In an effort to make the deadliest holiday weekend on the roads the safest, heightened enforcement begins Friday and continues into early Tuesday morning.

An early morning police chase ended when a woman smashed into a car.

Chesterfield County police say around 2:45 a.m. Monday morning they attempted to stop Darbi Marie Jones, 20, along Hull Street Road.

But, instead of stopping, police said she hit the gas.

Officers chased her for about five minutes to Fordham Road where she crashed into a parked car before hitting a tree.

Jones is charged with three crimes including DUI and speeding.

The Chesterfield County Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to Virginia T's, a clothing manufacturer located at 11200 Old Stage Road, at 10:20 a.m. for a commercial-structure fire. Fire crews arrived to find the fire sprinkler system activated and the fire contained to a storage rack. Fire department personnel extinguished the remainder of the fire and cleared the smoke from the warehouse. The building was occupied with approximately 40 employees at the time. Four employees were transported to the hospital with minor injuries. Two employees were treated on scene and released.

The Chesterfield Fire Marshal's Office has determined the fire to be suspicious and asks anyone who has information to contact the Chesterfield-Colonial Heights Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.
