HENRY COUNTY, VA – A man who fled from police during a traffic stop while in handcuffs was arrested two days later still wearing them.
On Sunday, a Virginia State Police trooper made a traffic stop on Route 58 at Grassy Hill Road.
After questioning the driver, State Police says “information did not line up” and the trooper took the driver into custody.

The subject was then taken into custody.
He was still in handcuffs when he was found in the residence.
