PAINTER, Va. - An Onancock man was arrested and is facing multiple felony charges after fleeing a Virginia State Police trooper in Accomack County Monday morning.

Around 9:13 a.m., a trooper was operating radar on Route 13 when the driver of a Mazda 3 sped through the area at 102 mph in a 55 mph zone. The driver of the Mazda, identified as Trevor Jacquan Giddins, tried to elude the Trooper.

Giddins was then arrested, and authorities obtained felony warrants for eluding, possession with intent to distribute, driving while under the influence of drugs and reckless driving. He was released on a $2500 unsecured bond.
