The Bibb county sheriff’s office posted these photos Sunday night, saying the man was arrested off Log Cabin Drive.

They say deputies recognized the man riding a bicycle as a wanted person and went to make contact when he sped off from deputies on his bike, throwing a handgun from his waistband during the chase.

He was taken to the Bibb county law enforcement center for the warrants and a new charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
