Suspect Nabbed After Slow-Speed Pursuit in North Carolina
**Boone, NC** – A suspect was apprehended following a low-speed pursuit involving Watauga and Wilkes Counties on March 18, 2025.
A Watauga County deputy attempted a traffic stop on a silver Infiniti on U.S. Highway 421, due to erratic driving in a 55 MPH zone. The driver, suspected of impairment, did not comply, instead executing a U-turn toward Deep Gap.
Efforts to stop the vehicle using spike strips by the North Carolina State Highway Patrol were initially unsuccessful. The pursuit continued into Wilkes County, where the Wilkesboro Police Department deployed spike strips near Lowe’s Hardware, successfully stopping the vehicle.
The suspect, Matthew David Adubato, 42, of Boynton Beach, Florida, faces charges in Wilkes County, including Driving While Impaired and Fleeing to Elude Arrest. Additional charges are pending in Watauga County. The Watauga County Sheriff’s Office acknowledged the support of multiple law enforcement agencies in resolving the incident.
