GLOUCESTER - A Gloucester County man wanted on numerous felony charges survived an apparent suicide attempt Sunday, a day after officers called off a wild daytime pursuit because of a danger to other drivers.

Joshua Dustin Horsley, 21, of Owens Road in Guinea, now has 24 felonies and two misdemeanors pending against him — most related to credit card fraud — but has not been formally charged, said Gloucester Sheriff's Office Maj. Darrell Warren.

Horsley was hospitalized Sunday in the intensive care unit of Riverside Walter Reed Memorial Hospital in Gloucester after an unspecified drug overdose. He was transferred Monday to another medical facility, where he is being evaluated, Warren said.

Once he is released, Horsley will be charged with 23 counts of credit card fraud, as well as a felony charge of evading/eluding police and misdemeanor charges of reckless driving and driving on a suspended license that stem from a pursuit late Saturday morning.
