MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — Bibb County deputies arrested two suspects last month after a high-speed chase reaching more than 100 mph ended in Houston County.

It started May 24 when a Land Rover Discovery allegedly racing another vehicle on Pio Nono Avenue refused to stop for a traffic check, according to a Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post.

Deputies say the Land Rover driver, 21-year-old Amarion Montrevis Dominque Askew, ignored the deputy’s attempt to conduct a traffic stop. The vehicle sped away, running red lights and driving recklessly. The chase extended into Houston County, where Askew exited the moving vehicle with a firearm and tried to run away.

The video provided by the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office shows the deputy giving Askew nearly a dozen commands and warnings before deploying a taser to subdue him. Askew, who was taken to a local hospital for treatment, faces multiple charges, including felony fleeing and eluding, felony obstruction, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He also has several outstanding warrants in Houston County.

An 18-year-old passenger, Zanoah J. Mosley, was also taken into custody and charged with felony fleeing and eluding and misdemeanor obstruction.
