Police Chase Ends In Manhunt

Around 9:30pm tonight, a male teenager was pulled over by an officer and then took off.  A police chase ensued.  It may have started on Hospital Drive, then went to  Presley Mill Road. The suspect had an accident but was still driving.   Suspect then turned onto Saddlebrook Court.  City officers were responding.  Suspect got out of the car and is running into woods, three others that were in car are standing by police officer.  Police putting a perimeter around Saddlebrook Court.  Police now say they are NOT going to set up a perimeter. 

Resume normal operations is announced, but it’s clear officers are still responding to this as the suspect has not been found yet.  An officer asks if they’re bringing a dog in to search for suspect.  The county wants to know if a perimeter needs to be set up.  Officer tells them to go to Charlton Crossing.  An out of breath officer then asked  deputies to meet him.

Officers were still searching for the suspect at 9:45pm.  Officers now want to get a perimeter set up.  Officers then discussed briefly what shade of blue his eyes were.  More officers joining search.  One officer says there is a drop-off where the suspect ran, so the suspect may be hurt when the dog finds him.  Looks like the dog may be on the suspect’s trail. Another resume normal operations was announced.  Officer says they are not going to use the dog, instead they’re going to walk in the woods to see if they see him.

For some reason the feed archives do not go past 10:00 P.M. and it is now 10:30 P.M., so I have no idea if the suspect was caught or not.  At 10:30pm an officer said there was no contact with the juvenile yet, so this may be the suspect officers are looking for.  They may have caught him.  I can’t be sure.  They’re not talking about it anymore.

In another call during the search for this suspect, a person called to say juveniles were throwing rocks at a truck.  In another call, a person overdosed on heroin.  EMS went to the residence and will take the person to hospital.
