Georgia state troopers found a
reportedly stolen truck after license
plate readers detected the vehicle.
Reports indicate troopers encountered
the truck two times earlier that day
before this third pursuit initiated. 47.
I'm right behind them
[Music]
Collins Hill Road, Collins Glenn
Circuit. As far as I know, he's 1080 cuz
he's still giving all he's got. Troopers
requested assistance from the
Lawrenceville Police Department. This
cruiser, which housed a recruit in the
passenger seat, began to make their way
towards the scene.
All right, 477, take a breath and just
tell us where you are.
I'm driving south on Collins Hill Road.
[Music]
Come on, baby. Okay, you're near
Chandler. We have some cross street now.
We got a turtle.
Taylor Road Northwest for cross street.
We are going under a green light for
Taylor
Road. Clear
clear coming down.
[Music]
We just ran the red light at Camden
Creek. Another trooper joins the call
and drives towards the suspect.
All right, going around him. Going
around
him. Staying on him. Staying on him.
Clear. I show you on it.
He just ran another red lead light.
We're coming up on Wild Cat Lake
Drive. He is 1080. 1080.
Come on, Nate. You got this. All right.
180. Heading
toward a minute and a half.
10 clear. Going through the red light at
Russell Road.
[Music]
Come on. Sticking with
it. There you go.
[Music]
We're driving in the center lane still
on Collins Hill. Coming up on Crystal
River
[Music]
Drive. He's going to be coming down to
316. I'm taking
36. 769. He's headed to the highway.
What you doing?
Air1. We'll be with you
shortly. Air1. Are you in GSV
[Music]

you on GSP channel right now.
Come on, baby. Let's get him.
All right, 477, where are you?
We're going over 316. Still on Collins
Hill.
This visual reveals two other vehicles
joined the pursuit. At some point, this
trooper turns around and joins them,
making a total of four cruisers in
pursuit.
Train light clear.
Clear, slow down. There's a roundabout
up there.
104, we both slowed down.
All right,
we're northell north road. We're coming
into the square. The pursuit heads
toward the densely crowded town square.
Devastating civilian fatalities may
occur if the pursuit isn't ended soon.
[Music]
Still on the highway. I'm coming. We got
an update on the location and any
felonies.
We're going through the second
roundabout. We're staying straight on
the roundabout. All right, 47 just
drive. Let me call it a chance to hit
them. Split them out. Let me get a stop.
They're coming into a lot of traffic.
1023. We're only blocking intersections
until
body cam footage shows the Lawrenceville
officer and his recruit are aware of the
pursuit, but hints they are not in
direct contact with Georgia State
Troopers. This appears to cause
miscommunications about commands and the
pursuit's exact location. All right. Now
I'm coming up on about to pit.
Come on,
baby. 1050. All right. Get fire out. Get
out.
We got a
North Clayton
possibly coding.

It's a dangerous job.
I still want to do it though. What
happened? We're going to hold
intersection. We're trying to find out
where they were. I had my lights and
siren on not speeding. He got us right
there. They ped in front of you. They
pitch in you. Somebody was going
sideways.
We pulled him out first and I grabbed
him by the vest. It was like freaking
Vietnam pulling him away from battle
scene. Trying not to pull him across the
pavement, but it was better than the
alternative looking face to face with
that guy. Dude, I just caught that car
two weeks ago, too. You say, "Welcome to
law enforcement." Yeah. Hey, man.
Welcome to law enforcement. It's a
dangerous job if I didn't already tell
you. What you need to do is you need to
go to the hospital and let them at least
check it. X-ray that arm. Sir, I don't
know if you know this. I got a canine
interview. I ain't missing a three. They
were rescheduled that. Nope. We I ain't
missing. Oh, dude. My weed scale broke,
man.
He pitted him and y'all drove into the
pit.
Review my camera to see what happened.
All I saw was a burgundy truck coming
sideways at me. What the trooper saying
is he pitted him on the hill and you
guys were coming. He was going sideways
at the crest. Wow. It's good. It's a
good good decision. I mean, I I hate it
having you guys, but I'm glad it didn't
happened there. Yeah. With a bunch of
civilians. Cool scar. Oh, no. What? They
got baby. No.
Cake or something. No.
[ __ ] suit. I got an interview today.
We're taking you up to the hospital. Get
out.
He's a new recruit. Today's the second
day. Hopefully it comes back tomorrow.
What can I do to help you? Well, I'm
really
Get your suit and put it in my car. Can
you grab it? M. You grab it for me.
Thank you for the help. Yeah, no
worries. I worked here at Larsel for 11
years. That's what I heard. I knew this
area pretty well and I totally forgot
about those roundabouts. This was a
straight, you know, Yeah. It used to be
old Champy Town like a Yeah. And I came
there like champ squirly. I'm just glad
he got it before he got to square. Yeah,
it definitely would have been much
worse. Make sure we're taking all the
charges on this guy. Yeah, we are. The
recruit involved in the crash is now an
officer for the Lawrenceville Police
Department, living up to his own
dedication to the force. The officer
driving with him, who was very concerned
about his interview to become a K-9
officer. Also achieved his goals by
becoming a K-9 officer for the
department shortly after. The suspect
faced one count of theft by receiving
stolen property, one count of fleeing
law enforcement for a felony offense,
and one count of reckless driving. He
likely plead not guilty at first due to
spending over a year in jail awaiting
trial. In May 2024, he changed his plea
to Nolo Contender on two charges,
meaning he would accept conviction
without admitting guilt. For his theft
charge, he was adjudicated guilty. For
all three charges, he was sentenced to
one year in prison and 5 years of
probation. However, 380 days of jail
credit was applied, so his prison term
was already served at his sentencing. If
he abides by the rules, he is set to
complete probation in 2029.
