The men sped off in a vehicle and were found on Bells Ferry Road. A deputy tried to pull them over, but the suspects kept driving. Police stopped the vehicle using a PIT, or “pursuit intervention technique,” in which an officer usually pushes their vehicle into another vehicle to make it lose control.
After a short foot chase, cops arrested both men about 1:30 p.m.
As of Wednesday night, they were in Cherokee County jail without bond.
