A father and son were arrested this week in connection with a theft and high-speed chase that injured two Forsyth County deputies, officials said.
Beav Beaver Beavers, 58, was arrested Tuesday after implicating his son by stating they had stolen motorcycles, according to Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Stacie Miller. Beavers was charged with theft, theft by receiving stolen property and violating his probation.
Warrants were then issued for his 27-year-old son, Colten Beavers. Deputies were waiting for him at a specific location Wednesday, and when he noticed the undercover deputy cars, he drove away in a U-Haul pickup truck and a chase began, authorities said.
The chase ended on a dead-end road, where the suspect crashed into patrol cars, injuring two deputies, Miller said. After a brief foot chase, officers were able to catch and arrest Colten Beavers.
Due to previous charges, the son was supposed to be on house arrest, according to Sheriff Ron Freeman. He was also wanted in Walton County.
Colten Beavers was charged with theft, aggravated assault, trespassing and possession of multiple drugs. Both father and son are being held at the Forsyth County Jail with no bond.
The two deputies were taken to Northside Hospital with minor injuries and later released, Freeman said.
