Robbery Suspect Caught After Police Use PIT Maneuver During Pursuit
On May 24, 2023, Cobb County Police Officers located a stolen vehicle driven by an armed robbery suspect on I-75 SB. The chase began, after the driver attempted an armed robbery and then stole a pickup truck. As traffic becomes congested, the driver of the truck shifts to the road's shoulder and eventually attempts to take an exit ramp. When one of the officers uses his vehicle to ram the suspect's truck, it comes to a stop. Police swarm the area and draw their weapons as the driver tosses his firearm to the ground, but holds a knife to his throat. The driver eventually discards the knife and lays down on the ground to be handcuffed. "I just wanted to get away," the crying man is heard saying.
