Man surrenders in deputy dragging

April 19, 2008 | Virginia News

A man wanted by Hanover County authorities -- for allegedly driving off Thursday and dragging a deputy sheriff who had pulled him over on a routine car stop -- surrendered yesterday.

Toledo O. Hayes faces a charge of attempted capital murder stemming from the incident. He turned himself in yesterday afternoon at the Pamunkey Regional Jail and was being held without bond. He will have a preliminary hearing Monday in Hanover General District Court.

The dragging incident occurred in the 8000 block of Mechanicsville Turnpike. Hayes, 33, of King William County, was also charged with eluding police, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.

The deputy was not injured.
