A Gordon County man, Amar Diablo Bodrick, 43, has been indicted by the Chattooga County Grand Jury in connection with a November 2024 incident that involved a high-speed chase and the alleged trafficking of methamphetamine. The incident began on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at approximately 8 PM when the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit Drug Task Force (DTF) attempted to arrest Bodrick at the Dollar Store in the Gore area on charges of Trafficking Methamphetamine.

Bodrick, driving a gold Chevrolet SUV, allegedly fled the scene, ramming a DTF vehicle and causing front-end damage. The chase continued onto Highway 27, heading south towards Floyd County, with DTF vehicles in pursuit. Bodrick allegedly refused to stop, reaching high speeds before abruptly making a U-turn at the Gore Firehall. He then traveled north on Highway 27, where he allegedly struck another DTF vehicle, causing minor damage. According to authorities, Bodrick slowed at one point to push a male passenger out of the vehicle, claiming the passenger was unaware of his criminal activities. During the pursuit, agents allege that Bodrick threw four bags of methamphetamine, along with a black bag containing cocaine and other drug paraphernalia, out of the vehicle window.

The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office joined the chase, which continued into Summerville. Summerville Police Department assisted by deploying spike strips, which successfully disabled Bodrick’s vehicle after flattening three tires in downtown Summerville. Bodrick was apprehended and transported to the Chattooga County Jail.

He was indicted on the charges on March 3rd and will be facing trial in Chattooga County Superior Court.
