POLICE CHASE ENDS AT REHOBOTH BANDSTAND WITH SHOTS FIRED

Multiple police agencies chased 21-year-old Christopher Huston from Milton down Route 1 into Rehoboth Beach early Tuesday. The chase ended at the Rehoboth Beach bandstand when an officer fired a couple shots at the suspect's Pontiac Grand Am.

A Rehoboth Beach Neighborhood Watch bulletin says Rehoboth officer Cpl. R. Tyler Whitman exited his vehicle, drew his firearm and verbally ordered Huston to stop. But Huston swerved toward Cpl. Whitman, who, fearing for his safety, fired two rounds from his issued handgun into the vehicle. The driver, who was the only occupant, was not struck.

A state police news release says Huston faces a slew of charges.
