On Tuesday, August 8, 2023, around 8:30 p.m., a deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on a “homemade vehicle” with no tag or headlights, and only LED rope lights on the front.
The driver sped away from the deputy, and eventually got out and fled on foot.
The deputy made contact with the passenger of the vehicle, and the driver was identified as Josh Patrick, who had two felony warrants in Jackson County, one in Calhoun County and a suspended driver’s license.
The K-9 Tracking Team was dispatched to the area where Patrick fled, and they located him a short time later.
Patrick was arrested on his felony warrants and is being charged with Driving While License Suspended or Revoked and Fleeing and Eluding Law Enforcement While Lights and Sirens are Activated.
