on January 28th 2022 a foresight County Sheriff's deputy attempted to pull over a U-Haul rental truck for a minor violation incoming Georgia however the driver defied orders and sped away recklessly weaving through the crowded lineer shopping center putting countless lives at risk I'll be singal 12 for the U-Haul vehicle be po to the plaza F 79 I got come up video0 we're going to be going on to we going to be making a right stand by the wood be on H in heading toward 3180 making a left on l the pursuit continued for several minutes before the deputy lost sight of the suspect's vehicle traff condition light spe about 7 mph continuing coming up to the highway I lost visual Highway Poss took a right direction I believe I see him he's going to continue on head toward 318 I lost sight thankfully a determined search Led them to the abandoned U-Haul parked in a nearby subdivision just hours later the suspect was apprehended and placed in the deputy's car for [Music] questioning [Music] the deputy spoke with a witness who recounted seeing the suspect abandon the U-Haul and enter a black SUV that pulled up shortly after hi hi there you want to give me one more second almost done okay no worries do you want to come in yeah I just want to talk to you real quick you talk to officers oh yeah yeah here it might be better if I come out there let me grab a jacket okay I don't have to worry about this guy do I no no so I conducted a traffic stop on him up at Lakeland Plaza and he ran from me okay um so that's why I'm trying to get this information okay um when you saw truck pull in did you see him get out or did you see stand I actually went to go pick my son up and when we came home he was standing by the white van there on the phone um when we started walking down the sidewalk he went back to the truck so I watched him from the bedroom window CU he was stranger and we pretty much know everybody over here um so then at that point he got out and I thought he was going to the neighbor's car so I came back out just to make sure nothing was going on and he was gone okay so thought and um I know you told the other officers that he was a shave ballhead mhm okay skinny white mouth Yes okay clear um do you see what type of clothes was wearing that I don't you know no I don't really recall what he was wearing okay was it what did he have like did you know if he had like jacket on or if it was anything like that I don't know my son may know better than me because I just don't retain things like that your son here no he's actually at a friend's house over there okay got um does he have a cell phone yes if you don't mind call him just see if he can give us some information y I will um or if you know the vehicle that picked him up in it I don't know what type it was I know it was a black SUV okay and it had magnets on the side like maybe some type of business okay and it was on both sides let me grab that got you no [Applause] problem this was my other neighbor who sleept through the whole thing now she's calling no worries um hey I have an officer here that wants to know if do you remember what the guy was wearing [Music] jeans he look like he just got a fork or something you don't remember the color of his shirt or anything we'll go with green then because I was thinking it was green so it was a green long sleeve shirt right I'm pretty
