Paulding County deputy PITs fleeing U-Haul truck

The Paulding County Sheriff's Office has released video of a deputy using a pit maneuver to stop a fleeing U-Haul truck following a short chase last week. The pursuit happened after deputies were called about people allegedly breaking into an abandoned gas station. Fox 5's Ray Urena has details. A total of four people were taken into custody after Paulding County deputies got called to suspicious activity at an old gas station. The entire incident was captured on video. You're watching the end of a short chase involving a U-Haul truck in Paulding County. The pursuit started minutes before as deputies responded to a suspicious activity call at an abandoned gas station on Dallas-Acworth Highway last Tuesday. When our deputies responded, they encountered the individuals actually in the building with a broken glass window. And at that point, when the deputy encountered them, they decided to refuse any orders to come out of the building and everything. Moments later, a woman went out the front of the building and loaded into a U-Haul with a deputy not far behind. Get out of the car! Get out of the car! Now! Okay, I will. Dash and body camera video captured that U-Haul driving away. Paulding County deputies followed close behind as the truck weaved around cones in traffic, even going off-road at one point. Moments later, a pit maneuver brings the truck to a stop. Before we just perform a pit, there's a lot of circumstances that are evaluated, especially the citizens of Paulding County, they come first when making these decisions. So traffic conditions, weather conditions, all of that all come into play. Deputies arrested the driver, identified as Bobby Evans, after they say she bailed from the truck, which was found with a five-gallon bucket of copper wire inside. Deputies also took three others into custody and charged them with loitering. Our message is very clear in Paulding County that if you enter the county lines, justice will be served. The old gas station was demolished shortly after the incident, and deputies say this is another example of how they look to keep the community safe as of Friday afternoon. The driver remains behind bars, while the other suspects have since posted bond reporting in Paulding County, Ray, Anna, Fox 5 News.
