MAN WHO JUMPED INTERSTATE TO AVOID CAPTURE IN CUSTODY

It all started with Atlanta police running radar on the side of the road. An officer caught a speeder, then jumped in his patrol car.

Shortly after, police spotted a crashed Infinity sedan and a man running down Interstate 85. Officers said the man jumped over the side of the barrier, an approximately 40-foot drop, and they still haven't caught up with him.

Police said the man got up after jumping and ran into the woods. Officers eventually got down there and found a gun as well as a small number of narcotics inside the vehicle.


According to police, the Infinity wasn't the intended speeder police were initially after.
