Trevon Troxler, a 31-year-old felon from the District, has been sentenced to 28 months in prison following a high-speed pursuit that ended with a crash into a federal police cruiser. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia announced the sentencing, which also includes three years of supervised release after Troxler pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, as well as destruction of federal property.
The incident occurred on October 12, 2025, when law enforcement attempted to stop Troxler’s white Honda Accord in the 3500 block of Ames Street NE. Troxler fled, leading officers from the Metropolitan Police Department and a Diplomatic Security Service agent on a dangerous chase through various parts of the city. During the pursuit, Troxler collided with a federal police cruiser and an uninvolved Hyundai, causing significant damage and sending the Hyundai into a nearby residence.
Despite the collisions, Troxler continued to evade capture, speeding onto I-295 and swerving through traffic. The chase ended when Troxler struck a median and exited the vehicle, attempting to flee on foot before being apprehended by police at 2300 South Dakota Ave. NE. Officers discovered a loaded Glock 29 pistol in the driver’s side of Troxler’s vehicle, which was equipped with a laser attachment and contained one round in the chamber along with 26 rounds in a high-capacity magazine.
Troxler’s actions resulted in over $4,000 in damages to the federal police cruiser. This case highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement to address violent crime and illegal firearms in the District, with the investigation being conducted by the Metropolitan Police Department, the Diplomatic Security Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – Washington Field Office. Troxler has a history of previous convictions, including unauthorized use of a vehicle and attempted assault with a dangerous weapon.
