RICHMOND/COLUMBIA COUNTIES, Ga. () – On August 13th at 10:25am, Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Road Patrol units responded to a report of a stolen motor vehicle at 1350 Walton Way. A description of the vehicle was immediately broadcast to all deputies through 911 dispatch.

Deputy Dakota Clark observed the stolen vehicle traveling on Wrightsboro Road and requested additional units before attempting a traffic stop. Once he activated his blue lights and siren, the driver refused to stop, leading deputies through Richmond County and into Columbia County along Washington Road.
