Deputies initiated a traffic stop with lights and sirens activated in the area of northbound Rt. 4 and Creston Lane in Solomons. The driver, Kevil Casswell Gregory, 43 of Lusby, looked back at deputies and disregarded the attempted traffic stop, and began fleeing at speeds exceeding 100 mph in a 45 mph zone.
