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.
