A Molena man was arrested Jan. 27 after a car chase in north Fayette and Fulton counties.
Twenty-four-year-old Thomas Moore was charged with DUI and driving on a suspended license, according to Sheriff Barry Babb.
Babb said deputies in the early morning hours of Jan. 27 conducted a traffic stop near the Fayette County and Fulton County border.
“The vehicle was being driven by 24-year-old Thomas Moore of Molena,” said Babb. “When the vehicle unlawfully refused to stop, a vehicle pursuit ensued. The pursuit crossed the county line into Fulton County where Moore drove his vehicle into a dirt mound.”
Babb said Moore fled on foot and was captured a short distance later.
“Moore was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital upon suspicion that he may have ingested methamphetamine in an attempt to conceal it,” said Babb.
