Chief Jeff Turner of the Clayton County Police Department said the chase began around 9:30 p.m., in Clayton County when officers saw the pickup slow and then stop so the driver could talk to a woman beside the road. That area of Old Dixie Highway at I-75 is known for prostitution but Turner said it was not known if the man was soliciting the woman for sex.
Turner said the driver in the pickup — Christian Harris, 24 ,of Fayetteville — sped off "recklessly" as the officers walked up to the side of the truck. They followed him north on I-75 and then onto Old National Highway.
