Mercer County prosecutors say state police tried to stop Heaviside's SUV in Trenton after they saw an apparent drug deal. But they say he drove away at a high rate of speed.
The pursuit continued into Hamilton Township but was soon ended.

Prosecutors say the SUV later ran a red light and crashed into a car driven by 22-year-old Deja Farrior, of Trenton. She was taken to a hospital but died there a short time later.
