Randolph County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a report of suspicious activity involving a 2015 Toyota Corolla on County Road 43 near Forester’s Chapel July 1. When deputies attempted a traffic stop, the vehicle fled, reaching speeds of approximately 100 mph on County Road 33, Highway 22 and Highway 77. Stop sticks were successfully deployed, disabling the vehicle.
The driver fled on foot but was quickly apprehended. Three juvenile males were passengers in the vehicle. EMS responded, but all three juveniles declined treatment. The suspect later advised jail staff she had ingested a controlled substance and was transported to Tanner-East Alabama Medical Center for treatment before being returned to jail. The Wadley Police Department assisted.
