WAKE FOREST, N.C. — Law enforcement had part of N.C. Highway 96 shut down late Saturday night after a driver refused to stop for law enforcement then ran after eventually stopping the vehicle.

The road was closed down as officials searched for the person. The SUV-type vehicle was banged up when law enforcement approached it. There was no further information as the investigation and search for the person continued into the night.
