Bibb County, GA – A Bibb County deputy arrested a man following a high-speed chase along Interstate 75, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office. The incident occurred near Hartley Bridge Road, where authorities say the suspect reached speeds of 90 mph before being stopped.
According to a department report, H.E.A.T. Unit Cpl. Shane Smith observed a Honda Accord entering I-75 at a high rate of speed. The driver allegedly changed lanes and cut in front of the deputy’s vehicle, prompting a traffic stop attempt. When the driver slowed but refused to stop completely, Smith initiated a low-speed PIT maneuver to end the pursuit safely.
Deputies said the driver was taken into custody without further incident. The Honda Accord was reportedly uninsured, and its registration had been suspended. Officials also stated the driver was unlicensed and that a bag of marijuana was located on the passenger seat.
No injuries were reported, and charges are pending following the arrest.
