Sandy Springs, GA - A man wanted for reckless driving is facing multiple charges after leading Sandy Springs police on a high-speed chase in April, newly released video shows.
The incident happened on April 28, when a traffic officer with the Sandy Springs Police Department observed a Jeep Wagoneer traveling 99 mph in a 65 mph zone on State Route 400.
According to police, the vehicle was also seen recklessly passing other drivers.
When the officer attempted to pull the vehicle over, the driver — later identified as Demario Grooms — refused to stop, prompting a pursuit. Authorities say Grooms drove in the emergency lane and ignored traffic signals during the chase.
He was eventually taken into custody without further incident.
Grooms is charged with speeding, reckless driving, felony fleeing and eluding, driving in an emergency lane, failure to obey a traffic control device, and driving with a suspended license.
