A man who led

sheriff's deputies on a chase from north Fayette County into Atlanta Thursday

faces several criminal charges.

Jamaal Everett

Nash, 21, is charged with attempting to flee and elude a police officer,

reckless driving, driving with a suspended or revoked license, aggressive

driving, failure to obey a traffic control device, driving without proof

of insurance, driving with an improper tag and driving without a valid

registration.

Nash has been

released from the jail on a $5,600 bond.

The pursuit

of Nash began on Ga. Highway 279 north when a deputy tried to pull over

the car for not having a tag on display, said Maj. Bruce Jordan, director

of investigations for the Fayette County Sheriff's Department.

The chase winded

along Flat Shoals Road to Ga. Highway 85 and Interstate 75 before reaching

I-285, Jordan said. The patrol cars were out of Fayette County's radio

range, but the department's helicopter, "Hawk 1," was overhead

and relayed information to vehicles on the ground that led to Nash's capture,

Jordan said.

Deputies were

able to use the "pit" maneuver to disable Nash's vehicle by

striking it, Jordan said.
