The high-speed chase that led to the arrest of an attempted murder suspect was brought to a close by Gwinnett Police officers. Emmanuel Williams, a 20-year-old from Seneca, South Carolina, is facing charges after being wanted in connection with a triple shooting that wounded a one-year-old child, according to the Gwinnett County news release.
Last Wednesday, November 27, the Gwinnett Police Department, acting on information from the Seneca Police, spotted Williams's vehicle using Flock cameras. With untamed speed, the pursuit kicked off as Williams maneuvered his black SUV from a business parking lot onto Sugarloaf Parkway, failing to comply with the officer's signal to stop and instigating a chase with speeds clocked up to 80 mph, as detailed by the Gwinnett County news release.
Police officers anticipated Williams's route and at the intersection of Sugarloaf Parkway and Duluth Highway, they planned to end the chase. A PIT maneuver was attempted but resulted in the patrol car striking Williams’s vehicle on the driver’s side, effectively bringing the pursuit to a stop. Williams was apprehended on the scene.
Following the arrest, Williams was checked for injuries at a local hospital before being transferred to the Gwinnett County Jail. He racked up a list of charges including driving without a seatbelt, felony fleeing, reckless driving, and driving on a suspended license among others, according to the official report.
