Atlanta teen arrested after chase, crash at gas station
An Atlanta teenager was arrested Tuesday night after leading police on a chase through Cobb County before wrecking a stolen Acura at a gas station.
Demarco Draughan, 17, faces multiple felony charges after the wreck late Tuesday night, police said.
Police started chasing the Acura after a license tag check indicated the vehicle was stolen. Draughan drove the car up to 110 mph on I-285, police said.
A passenger ran away after the wreck and is still being sought.
An arrest warrant says Draughan had a gun in the car, along with marijuana packaged for sale.
He’s being held in the Cobb County jail.
