In connection with Monday’s chase, Tate faces counts of fleeing police and theft by receiving in addition to several traffic citations, Marietta police said. In DeKalb, he was wanted on a charge of failure to appear in court.
Tate’s most serious legal troubles appear to be in Gwinnett, where he will face counts of kidnapping, false imprisonment, fleeing police, stolen auto, theft by taking and hit-and-run, the post said. No further information on those charges was provided, so AJC.com has reached out to Gwinnett police for more details.
Tate was booked into the Cobb County jail, where he remained Monday evening without bond, records show. It’s unclear if he will remain in Cobb to face his newest charges, or if he will be extradited to DeKalb or Gwinnett.
