The Deputy then initiated a traffic stop and the unidentified suspect led them on a pursuit on the Highway 28 Bypass towards Liberty Highway. The driver turned into the parking lot of a restaurant, circled the building and then rammed into the driver's side door of the deputy's vehicle.

The suspect then fled again, driving towards Liberty Highway. The Sheriff's Office says, the Suspect vehicle is a Black Dodge Ram with a Georgia dealership tag on it. The Deputy was not injured in the incident.

Around that same time a 3 car crash involving a black dodge ram happened on Highway 28 Bypass, the Sheriff's Office says, the two incidents are not related.
