But Alexander kept going.

The GSP followed him through a parking lot, along two other streets and down Lenox Road, where they say he drove down the wrong side of the road and lost his left tire.

Before the truck crashed, Alexander jumped out and ran to a nearby townhome complex, the GSP said. While trying to climb a residential fence to get away, he got stuck.

As officers were using their Tasers on Alexander, the spikes in the wrought-iron fence stabbed him. Officials eventually worked to get him down.

Police found a .380-caliber gun on Alexander and discovered a second gun in the car along with stolen items that may be from other crimes, the GSP said.

He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment. His condition was not released.

Alexander faces DUI and several other traffic-related charges. He also faces charges out of Roswell.
