Suspect in Custody after Repeatedly Fleeing from Police
12/1/2023
Riverside – Last Thursday, in the early hours of Thanksgiving morning, Riverside Township Patrol units were on their annual DWI Patrol shift, when they observed a vehicle operating in a reckless manner in the area of St. Mihiel Drive and Chester Avenue. The Riverside Township officers attempted to stop the vehicle, however the operator of the vehicle sped off, eluding officers. An investigation ensued, eventually leading to the identification of the operator to be Jayden M. Machado, 18 yrs of Riverside, NJ.
Yesterday, at approximately
5pm, Riverside Township officers attempted to locate Machado, near Lippincott
Avenue, to place him under arrest on criminal and traffic charges related to
that case. However, before the officers
were able to take him into custody, Machado ran away from them, jumping over
fences and running through several yards, resisting his arrest. A search of the area was conducted and with
the assistance of a family member cooperating with officers, Machado eventually
turned himself in several hours later.
Machado was processed at
the Riverside Township Police Department and lodged at the Burlington County
Correction Facility. He is awaiting a
detention hearing on the following charges:
“ALL SUSPECTS ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A
COURT OF LAW”
