Sandy Springs, GA - A driver accused of leading police on a high-speed chase through metro Atlanta was arrested after officers used four PIT maneuvers to try to stop him, according to the Sandy Springs Police Department.
Police released video of the June 22 chase, which began on Georgia 400 southbound.
According to police, the driver, identified as Jared Juwann Pierce, reached speeds exceeding 110 mph during the chase and repeatedly refused to stop for officers.

Pierce is facing several charges, including felony fleeing and attempting to elude law enforcement, false imprisonment, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, and obstruction of law enforcement. He also faces numerous traffic-related offenses.
