Cherokee County, Alabama Sheriff Jeff Shaver says his deputies recovered two vehicles that were stolen in Georgia.
According to the sheriff, Jonathan C. Vaughn, 31 of Cedartown, Georgia, led deputies up U.S. Highway 411 into Georgia and eventually back into Cherokee County on U.S. Highway 278 in a stolen Jeep out of Murray County, Georgia. When deputies stopped the vehicle, Vaughn was taken into custody and charged with first degree receiving stolen property, attempting to elude, unlawful possession of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of brass knuckles and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia; a passenger in the vehicle Patricia D. Morris, age 26 of Rockmart, Georgia, was also arrested for the unlawful possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia.
Another chase resulted in the recovery of a stolen vehicle from Gordon County, Georgia.
A 9-1-1 caller reported a reckless driver on Highway 9 in Cedar Bluff before midnight Monday.
Corporal Daniel Holcomb located the vehicle driving reckless and attempted to stop the car. That driver, later identified as Brittany Parks, 28 of Chatsworth, Georgia, refused to stop and a chase ensued. Holcomb continued on into Centre, where Centre and Cedar Bluff Police Officers also attempted to stop her and then onto U.S. Highway 411 north. The pursuit ended after her vehicle left the roadway and became stuck in the mud.
Holcomb refused to get out of the vehicle and deputies had to break the window to remove her. Holcomb was arrested and transported to the Cherokee County Detention Center on charges of first degree receiving stolen property, DUI, attempting to elude and resisting arrest.
