MOTORIST KILLED IN WRECK CAUSED BY SUSPECT FLEEING FROM TROOPER
January 13, 2024 Fayetteville – A Fayetteville man will be charged in the Saturday, January 13, 2024, death of an innocent civilian killed as the suspect fled from an ASP Trooper. The Trooper activated his blue lights and attempted a traffic stop after he witnessed the suspect, Noah Cargill, 20, driving a Dodge Charger recklessly on Wedington Drive. The suspect fled, running a red traffic light and traveling through a neighborhood at a high rate of speed. The suspect swerved around cars on Rupple Road, nearly wrecking multiple times. The suspect lost control of his vehicle and crashed into an oncoming vehicle, killing the civilian driver. David Michael Pemberton, 56, of California was pronounced dead at the scene. The Fayetteville Police Department is investigating the wreck and the criminal case.
Cargill was transported to Washington Regional Medical Center with injuries that are not life threatening. He will be charged with Negligent Homicide, Felony Fleeing and other traffic violations. “This tragedy is precisely the reason we’ve been imploring people not to flee from law enforcement,” ASP Colonel Mike Hagar said. “Fleeing from law enforcement is a selfish act that risks the lives of everyone on the road. We pray for the family of the innocent civilian killed today.”
