The Atmore Police Department is searching for a suspect that led them on two high speed chases and as is believed to be involved in several other crimes.
Atmore Police said the suspect is responsible for the theft of two vehicles that both resulted in high speed pursuits on Highway 31
The suspect fled from the second vehicle after failing to navigate a turn and crashing on James Road. He then fled into a heavily wooded area in the Nokomis area.
“The suspect attempted the theft of a four-wheeler, a bicycle, and a golf cart as he was attempting to flee the area. The suspect may have had assistance in evading capture before additional resources were able to arrive on the scene,” Sgt. Darrell McMann said.

Attempting to elude? I think he succeeded in Atmore.
Good job LEO’s!!!!!!!!
Aww shucks….
He promised to be good next time so go on and release him as usual.
A one-man crime wave. Just more proof that criminals have no boundaries having committed criminal offenses in at least 4 different jurisdictions. It wont surprise me to see that the only jail time he does will be that time in Alabama awaiting the completion of his court dates, cause once he gets to Bay County I figure he will get some type of probation and be free to commit more criminal acts.
Al Bundy?
