Suspect rams police unit, eludes officers
by Rick Clark
Shooting with intent to kill,
resisting arrest and various drug
charges are among the many
charges facing Stephen
Aufleger, 45, of Tryon, accord-
ing to Lincoln County Under
Sheriff Chester Duncan.
Aufleger was apprehended
east of Stillwater near SH51 and
Prairie Road, but not after a high
speed chase that went through
two counties, on numerous ru-
ral roads and several highways.
Aufleger, was allegedly in-
volved in a shooting incident
Tuesday morning at his home
in Tryon involving a "white fe-
male", Duncan said.
"There was an argument in-
volving the female and Aufleger.
He assaulted her, then fired one
shot," Duncan told The Perkins
Journal Tuesday. The female in
the incident reportedly was not
wounded.
"When Tryon (police) re-
sponded, Aufleger fled in his El
Camino with the Tryon unit in
a high speed pursuit to Four
Corners (US177 and Stt105),"
he said.
According to reports on the
police scanner during the inci-
dent Tuesday morning, the sus-
pect drove north on US177 "at
a speed in excess of 100 miles
per hour."
Reportedly, he then turned
east on County Line Road which
eventually dead-ends. Tryon

then allegedly rammed the
Tryon police unit "at least
once," Duncan said.
Officer Butler said that he
had responded initially to a re-
port of "shots being fired" at
Aufleger's residence. While go-
ing to the residence he said he
saw Aufleger "at the four-way
stop sign and when I turned the
lights and siren on he acceler-
ated and headed west."
"I was out of the chase when
he rammed me twice. I lost sight
of him after that," Butler said.
