Richie Don Cook, 42, of Cook Hollow Road, LaFayette, was finally apprehended after crashing and then running into nearby woods. A Dade County K-9 assisted in the capture.

Cook is facing charges including aggravated assault, reckless driving, evading arrest, criminal littering, vandalism, speeding, and tampering with evidence.
