Once on the scene officers found the subject that someone phoned the police about getting into an SUV to leave. Officers say that dispatch received a call from a female who was short of breath who stated that she didn't know when "he" would return.

The officer quickly followed the Tahoe and activated his emergency equipment. The report stated, "The vehicle accelerated quickly passing the posted speed limit sign of 30 miles per hour. I attempted to catch up to stop the vehicle. The Tahoe turned right onto Boston Avenue and accelerated again." The Tahoe eventually came to a stop and a second police officer arrived and ordered Groves to get out of the SUV.

When police talked to Groves he was charged with evading police in a motor vehicle.
