**REWARD**
VCU Police seek public help in locating driver
RICHMOND, Va. (May 6, 2008) - Virginia Commonwealth University Police is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a Richmond man wanted for dragging an officer with his car following a traffic stop in February.
Police are searching for 18-year-old Zorin Amadd Holton, who goes by the
nickname "Zoe" and has "Zoe" tattooed on his right hand. Anyone with
information about Holton is asked to call VCU Police at (804) 828-1196.
Police say the incident happened just before 1 a.m. on Feb. 1 when
an officer observed a vehicle turn from North Harrison Street on
to West Cary Street against one-way traffic. The officer stopped
the vehicle in the 1000 block of West Cary Street and asked for
the man's driver's license. During the conversation, the driver
grabbed the officer's arm, pulled her partially into the vehicle
and drove off with the officer hanging onto the car's window,
according to police.
The driver eventually slowed down, allowing the officer to
jump off along the 700 block of West Cary Street. The driver
continued east. He was later identified as Holton, police said.
The officer suffered minor injuries and was treated at the
VCU Medical Center.
A felony warrant has been issued for Holton's arrest on a
charge of attempted capital murder.
