Reward Offered
James Robert Wood, Jr.
Photo Date December, 2006

Wood is wanted for Reckless Driving, Driving Suspended, and Felony Eluding Police.  The allegations stem from a pursuit that began shortly after 9:30 p.m. on April 7, 2018 with a traffic stop in the area of Irvington Road and Glenwood Lane. The driver allegedly then fled towards Kilmarnock, turned onto James B. Jones Memorial Highway, made a U-turn, turned onto Black Stump Road, and abandoned the vehicle near Marigold Lane. Lancaster County Crime Solvers offers a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to Wood's arrest on the outstanding charges.
