2 people taken into custody in DC after fleeing traffic stop in Arlington

WASHINGTON - Two people have been taken into custody in Washington D.C. after the vehicle they were traveling in fled a traffic stop that started in Arlington County, officials say.

Arlington County police say they attempted to stop the vehicle at around 4:36 p.m. Tuesday in the area of N Kirkwood Road and Washington Boulevard in Arlington, but the driver failed to stop.
