The Albemarle County Police Department is seeking the whereabouts of a man wanted after fleeing from a traffic stop on March 8, 2026.

On that date, at approximately 3:15 a.m., an officer with ACPD attempted a traffic stop on a vehicle for suspicion of driving under the influence. The driver failed to yield, and a brief pursuit ensued before the vehicle came to a stop, and the driver fled on foot.

As a result of the incident, ACPD has obtained warrants for Torius Jihad Price, 24, of Charlottesville, for one felony count of eluding (§46.2-817), one felony count of damage to property (§18.2-137), and one misdemeanor count of hit-and-run (§46.2-896). Price also faces a charge of violation of a court order stemming from an original first-degree murder charge in Albemarle County.

Price is described as a Black male with black hair and brown eyes. He is approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs around 150 pounds. The attached photo of Price is from 2024 and does not reflect his current hairstyle, which is shorter.

ACPD is asking the community to be on the lookout for the suspect pictured. Price should be considered armed and dangerous. If he is seen, do not approach, and call 9-1-1 immediately. Anyone who wishes to anonymously report Price’s whereabouts is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 434-977-4000.
