The Dover Police Department arrested an 18-year-old male early Monday morning following a brief vehicle pursuit, according to Public Information Office Master Corporal Ryan Schmid.
Schmid said at approximately 12:17 a.m., officers responded to the area of Lexington Place and Nicholas Drive in reference to several subjects being loud. Officers attempted to contact the group at which time the subjects began entering vehicles and attempted to leave.

Perry was released on an O.R. Bond on the following charges:
-Reckless Endangering 2nd Degree

In addition to Perry’s charges, a female passenger was given a civil citation for possession of a small amount of marijuana. Two other occupants were released with no charges.
