Deputies in Forsyth County ended a high-speed chase on Georgia 400 out of safety for the community. However, that did not stop deputies from tracking down the driver and arresting him.
Just after 1 a.m. on July 24, Forsyth Dep. First Class Roberts clocked a white BMW SUV speeding at 98 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone, authorities said.
The driver accelerated to 146 mph after Roberts tried to chase him, leading to the chase being canceled for safety reasons, according to the sheriff’s office.
