A Jonesboro

man led sheriff's deputies on a brief chase early Saturday morning after

he sped away from a safety and license check roadblock on Ga. Highway

138 north, police said.

Dwayne White,

29, sped away from the roadblock after a deputy noticed the odor of alcohol

and White's bloodshot eyes and asked him to pull to the side of the road

at the checkpoint, said Sgt. Belinda McCastle of the Fayette County Sheriff's

Department. White led deputies into a subdivision under construction,

running between two houses, scaling a fence and dashing into a field.

McCastle said.

Deputies caught

up with White as he was hanging from the second floor window of a house

under construction, McCastle said.

White is charged

with driving under the influence, fleeing and attempting to elude a police

officer, obstruction of a police officer, failure to maintain lane, reckless

driving, driving with a suspended license and driving without a seat belt.

The vehicle

chase did not reach high speeds, McCastle added.
