A Georgia man led law enforcement on a chase from Dade County, Georgia into DeKalb County, Alabama on Friday afternoon.
Dade County Sheriff Ray Cross said that a suspicious vehicle was spotted in Rising Fawn by a Dade County Sheriff K-9 officer on Friday afternoon.  The Deputy attempted to make contact and investigate the vehicle, when the single occupant (later identified as Tyler Douglas Hicks) fled at a high rate of speed.
The pursuit continued along rural roads in Dade County and entered dirt roads in Dekalb County, Alabama.
The suspect vehicle crashed on Co Rd 512 (near the Sulfur Springs Exit) where the suspect then fled on foot. Our Deputy drove through a field and successfully apprehended the suspect. Tyler Hicks has outstanding warrants through our agency in addition to Felony Fleeing and multiple traffic offenses.
Hicks was being held at the Dekalb County Jail awaiting extradition back to Georgia.
