Macon, GA – A police pursuit in Bibb County ended with a suspect in custody Tuesday after deputies say a stolen vehicle chase turned into a foot pursuit through a residential area.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, deputies attempted to stop a stolen Toyota Camry before the driver fled, leading officers on a chase that ended on Bloomfield Drive. Authorities said the suspect then exited the vehicle and ran, with deputies pursuing him on foot into a nearby backyard where he was arrested.
Officials identified the suspect as a 27-year-old male who was already on probation at the time of the incident. According to deputies, he allegedly had a loaded handgun and was driving a vehicle displaying a stolen license plate.
