On Friday August 23, 2013 at approximately 1:00 pm an employee from Mid South Bank located at 4015 W. Main Street contacted the Dothan Police Department in reference to a subject attempting to cash a counterfeit check. A vehicle description was given for two additional subjects that were possibly involved. As Police units arrived, the suspect vehicle was seen leaving the parking lot. The arriving officers attempted to perform a traffic stop, but the suspect’s refused to yield and a vehicle pursuit ensued. The pursuit went through Western Dothan and into Geneva County, before ending in downtown Hartford. Two subjects were taken into custody where the pursuit ended. The subject at the bank was also detained. The Dothan Police Department was assisted by the Houston County Sheriff’s Office, Geneva County Sheriff’s Office, and Hartford Police Department.
The investigation is ongoing and charges will be released at a later time.
