Felony fleeing

A misdemeanor charge escalates to a felony if any of the following occur during the eluding:
The driver goes more than 20 mph over the speed limit.
The driver strikes or collides with a pedestrian or another vehicle.
The driver is the proximate cause of an accident.
The driver flees in traffic conditions that put the public at risk.

There must not have been anything illegal in the car and he didn't have any outstanding warrants or that would have come out. WTF was he thinking?

Second degree child cruelty is basically when somebody does something nutty enough to get arrested in the presence of children.

Probably had a child in the car when he tried to elude the law. To get a felony eluding, he had to be doing something that endangered other people and that child did nothing to deserve being put into that position by his bad choices.

(b) Any person commits the offense of cruelty to children in the first degree when such person maliciously causes a child under the age of 18 cruel or excessive physical or mental pain.

(c) Any person commits the offense of cruelty to children in the second degree when such person with criminal negligence causes a child under the age of 18 cruel or excessive physical or mental pain.

It happens all the time in domestics. Dad gets arrested for hitting mom. Mom gets arrested for hitting dad. Kids were there. Second degree cruelty to children.

No, that's third degree.

(1) Such person, who is the primary aggressor, intentionally allows a child under the age of 18 to witness the commission of a forcible felony, battery, or family violence battery; or

Jefferson (city) in Jackson County used to be (probably still is) a major cocaine hub for NE GA including Athens. WTF was he doing up there in the middle of the night? No mention of drugs.


More has come out. In an ESPN article today, it's apparent that his mom and siblings moved to Commerce from Newark when he came to UGA. So that's why he was in Jackson County. Also, his mother was arrested, she was the first traffic stop for running a stop sign, then he blew past the cops to get their attention so his mom wouldn't get a ticket, so they were going to let her off and go catch him, but then she got herself involved in the chase and tried cutting off the cops so her boy could get away. They both in jail.

So fricking trashy.


ETA- yes, it's now validated the "child cruelty" is two teenage brothers in the vehicle, not beating a baby with a lead pipe.
