On the above date and time while operating laser at the 104 mile marker southbound GA 401, I checked the listed vehicle at 84 mph in a 70 mph zone.
I attempted to perform a traffic stop on the vehicle and the vehicle failed to stop. At that time, I initiated a pursuit on the vehicle.
At the 97 mile marker southbound on ramp, the offender attempted to run Deputy Purvis off the roadway.
The pursuit continued into Turner County and Tift County. The vehicle exited off at Exit 66 and got on Highway 41 South, where he collided with a Tift County Sheriff Deputy.
Upon further investigation, the vehicle came back stolen, and I was able to locate an unknown amount of suspected marijuana in the vehicle.
