Wild Police Chase; Suspect Behind Bars
February 16, 2008
ATLANTA -- Alonzon Jones may have a lot to answer
for. Jones, 29, Saturday found himself in the
Fulton County Jail, facing a host of charges for
his role in a wild police chase Friday afternoon.
It was a chase that included a wrong-way driving,
blown tires and, finally, the suspect, Jones, run
down by a police car after he ditched his own car
and tried to escape on foot. Predictably, traffic
was snarled in the area where it all ended...I-285
at Moreland Avenue.
The chase began just after 5:00 p.m. in southeast
Atlanta.
The driver pulled onto the Perimeter and started
driving the wrong way in the westbound lanes in
DeKalb County. Rush hour drivers headed eastbound
had to dodge the fleeing suspect as he veered
across four lanes of the Interstate.
A blown tire slowed him down, but didn't stop him.
With smoke coming from the flat tire he kept
running from police. Officers stayed on the
correct side of 285 but kept pace with him.
At one point the suspect pulled a U-turn across
the highway and headed for an exit. Police were
anticipating that move and had a car waiting for
him. When the suspect slammed on his brakes and
jumped from the car the police cruiser slammed
into him and sent him flying. Looking like an NFL
running back the suspect bounced right back up and
took off with an officer hot on his heels. With
the officer closing ground quickly, the suspect
turned and surrendered.
Police charged Jones with theft by receiving
stolen auto, felony obstruction and a host of
traffic violations. He faces a judge on Monday
morning.
