Deputies attempted to pull Brown over for driving 79 in a 55 mph  zone June 17 on Highway 29 near Well Line Road. The vehicle turned onto Cooley Road and came to a stop on Phalrose Lane, where Brown hit a mailbox.

A male identified as Brown by deputies exited the driver’s seat and ran over several fences. A manhunt followed with a K-9 unit, but Brown could not be immediately located and warrant was issued for his arrest.
