High-Speed Chase Ends in Arrest of Stolen Kia Driver in Bibb County

A Bibb County Sheriff’s Office S.R.T. Unit deputy apprehended a suspect after a high-speed chase involving a stolen Kia Soul.

While patrolling Chambers Road, a deputy spotted the stolen vehicle. According to a report, the driver accelerated after making a turn in front of the deputy and fled at speeds reaching 90 mph in a 40-mph zone. The fleeing motorist then crashed into another vehicle.

Following the collision, the suspect exited the stolen Kia through the rear passenger window and attempted to flee on foot. The suspect then tried unsuccessfully to enter the driver’s seat of an occupied Honda Accord in a nearby parking lot. He subsequently entered the back seat of the Honda but quickly exited.

At that point, a deputy deployed a taser, and the suspect was taken into custody. Deputies also discovered a handgun inside the stolen Kia Soul.

The male suspect was transported to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center and faces multiple charges, including fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer for a felony offense, theft by receiving stolen property (felony), hit and run, hijacking a motor vehicle, two counts of criminal damage to property, driving without a valid license, and obstruction of law enforcement officers.
