In a dramatic sequence of events, a 15-year-old from Brandon, Florida, found himself in police custody after leading deputies on a high-speed chase that spanned two Georgia counties. The pursuit began when law enforcement officers attempted to pull over the juvenile, who was behind the wheel of a stolen Hyundai Santa Fe, spotted on Georgia 401 around 7:30 on a Sunday morning.
The chase unfolded as the young driver recklessly maneuvered through Crisp County, only to meet an abrupt end in Dooly County when he crashed into an electrical box. The impact sent the stolen vehicle careening into a guard rail and a fence before finally coming to a halt. Undeterred, the teen promptly exited the damaged car and attempted to flee on foot.
The incident prompted a rapid response from multiple law enforcement agencies, including deputies from the Dooly County Sheriff’s Office, GSP Troopers, and DNR Game Wardens. Following a brief search of the area, the teen was apprehended without further incident, bringing the perilous pursuit to a close.
