ALBANY, GA (WALB) -
A man wanted on a contempt of court warrant crashed his car, and ran away from the scene. Now he faces a long list of serious charges.
Albany Police say 27-year-old Michael Brown was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Impala south on South Mock Road at a high rate of speed, when he lost control of the car.
The car turned sideways and went across lanes of traffic, before hitting an embankment and then a tree.
Officials say the car flipped several times before coming to a stop on its roof, but Brown was able to get out and took off running.
A Dougherty County Police officer caught Brown, who was then transported to the hospital, but he was not admitted.
Now Michael B. Brown faces these charges:
Failure to Maintain Lane
D.U.I. less safe
D.U.I. refusal
Leaving the scene of an accident with injuries
Driving while suspended
Reckless Driving
The warrants were issued late Monday evening. If you know where he is, call 436-TIPS.
