Georgia State Patrol PITs Fleeing Hyundai Causing It To Roll Over Multiple Times

On June 30th 2022, at 2230 hours I was traveling I-85 south near M 4 in Coweta County. I noticed a vehicle (Red Hyuandai Elantra) approaching me from the rear at a high rate of speed. I hit my brakes and moved out of the path of the vehicle. The vehicle passed by me and continued. At which point I flashed my lights as a warning to get the vehicle to slow down but the vehicle disregarded my warning and continued. The Vehicle exited the interstate at Exit 44 Popular Rd. I followed behind and activated my emergency equipment.
The driver initiated a pursuit, making a right turn onto Popular Rd. the driver crossed a concrete median
onto the wrong side of the road causing extensive damage to the front driver wheel. The driver then
made a left turn on too Newnan Crossings Bypass and immediately crossed to the wrong side of the
roadway.
TFC. B King joined the pursuit and due to him being a trooper from troop d a relinquished the primary
position to him. I believed he would know the roadways better than I would. The pursuit continued to
Highway 16. The driver made a left turn TFC. King made a PIT attempt but was unsuccessful. Several
miles later down the roadway TFC. King successfully performed a successful PIT causing the vehicle
to spin and roll over multiple times near Marion Beaver Rd.
I exited my vehicle and as I did the driver exited his and fled on foot. I gave chase and followed the
suspect into the wood line with my taser drawn. I gave verbal commands for the suspect to stop
running or I would tase him, he continued but eventually tried to duck down behind a tree and was
taken into custody.
The driver was checked out by EMS on scene but was also transported to piedmont hospital to be
medically cleared. I then transported the driver to Coweta County Sheriffs Office without further
incident.
