DURHAM - Two men have been arrested on weapons charges after the car they were driving — a suspect vehicle in a recent armed robbery and aggravated assault — slammed into another vehicle during a police pursuit, authorities said.

Benjamin Wayne White, Jr., 24, is charged with two counts each of felony fleeing to elude; driving with a revoked license; and careless and reckless driving. He was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to a Durham police news release.

Rory Arrington, Jr., 23, is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A passenger in their car, Brandi Nicole Street, 19, does not face charges. Street, White and Arrington were treated for minor injuries at Duke University Hospital, the release said.

The collision took place about 8 p.m. as police chased a cream-colored 1989 Nissan Maxima apparently driven by White, the release said. At the intersection of Horton and Guess roads, the Nissan struck a 2004 Toyota Avalon driven by Climon J. Smith, 63, with his wife, Betty Miller Smith, 62, as passenger. The Smiths were also treated for minor injuries at Duke University Hospital.

Additional charges may be pending, police said.
