BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- State and Baltimore City police have arrested an Eastern Shore man for fleeing a traffic stop in Cambridge that injured a police officer.

Demetrice D. Demby, 39, of Cambridge was arrested at 9 p.m. Tuesday in the 2800-block of Erdman Avenue in Baltimore in the home of an acquaintance. Demby was arrested without incident.
