Another deputy spotted the stolen car on I-85 and tried to pull it over. Instead, the driver, later identified as 23-year-old Jaelen Shepherd, started driving recklessly and crashed into several other cars.
Shepherd got off of the interstate and pulled over but sped off again. Eventually, the driver took himself to a dead end.
Body camera video shared with Channel 2 Action News shows the deputy pulling a gun on Shepherd and telling him to get out.
