Subject— Edison Police Department Captures Attempted Murder Suspect after hour long motor vehicle pursuit.

On Sunday, December 3, 2023, at 8:13 pm, our Public Safety Telecommunicators received a Sirius XM alert regarding a stolen (2019 white color Subaru Outback with Maryland license plates) entering Edison Township near US Highway 1 and Main Street. Edison Police Officer Phil Smith (pictured above), upon hearing the transmission, promptly checked the area. While near 2900 Woodbridge Avenue, Officer Smith observed the vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed and closed the distance with his patrol vehicle. He obtained permission from Watch Commander Lieutenant Tim Hutson to proceed with the motor vehicle pursuit.

Communications later identified the driver as 23-year-old Reese E. Wetzel from Ellicott City, Maryland, wanted for attempted murder of his twin sister, whom he stabbed multiple times after an argument. The vehicle Wetzel was driving, belonged to his sister, and it was taken without her permission.

Officer Smith pursued Wetzel to Mahwah, New Jersey, where he stopped in the middle of Interstate- 287 north, mile marker 64.9. Wetzel, refusing to exit the vehicle voluntarily, was eventually escorted out by Edison Police Officers and New Jersey State Troopers.

Wetzel is currently in police custody.

Wetzel faces charges from the Edison Police Department, including Receiving Stolen Property, Eluding with Substantial Risk of Physical Injury, Fugitive from Justice, Resisting Arrest, and Obstructing Administration of Law.

Chief Tom Bryan expresses gratitude to Officer Phil Smith, Edison Police Officers who assisted, and police agencies along the way from Edison to Mahwah, for their efforts in the pursuit and apprehension of Wetzel.
