Video: Ga. Police PIT Maneuver Stops Fleeing Twin Suspects During High-Speed Chase

  • Dashboard camera footage captured a Sandy Springs police officer executing a PIT maneuver to stop wanted twin suspects who fled an Alpharetta police traffic stop, ending a high‑speed chase.

A fleeing homicide suspect couldn't escape Ohio police Monday during a brief high-speed chase that was captured in dashboard camera footage.

The pursuit began at about 6:30 p.m. when a Dayton police officer spotted a suspect in a homicide investigation behind the wheel of a vehicle, the department stated in an online news release. When the officer pulled up behind the vehicle, the suspect sped off, and a chase ensued. 

The suspect wove through traffic as he raced through neighbors with police cruisers close behind. In the dashcam footage posted with the news release, officers can be seen executing PIT maneuvers that damaged the suspect's vehicle but didn't stop it.

Finally, officers were able to box in the vehicle after the suspect turned into a gated commercial entrance. Body camera footage shows police taking the driver and a female passenger into custody.

A search of the vehicle uncovered a handgun and loose ammunition, as well as suspected drugs and paraphernalia.

Once in custody, the suspect told police that he had possible injuries to his arm and elbow, WDTN-TV reports. He was taken to the hospital "out of an abundance of caution," according to police. 

The suspect is currently in Montgomery County Jail while charges are being filed, police said.
