Chase Hits 120 MPH, Leads To Arrest For Meth, Stolen Car: Police

CARTERSVILLE, GA — A 21-year-old with meth in a stolen car led Cartersville police on a wild chase at speeds “over 120 miles per hour” before he was arrested, authorities said.

Police caught Brandon Robert Bohanan of Cartersville early Tuesday morning when the Infiniti he was driving arrived at a dead end on Carter Grove Boulevard, according to WBHF Community Radio.

Online records show Bohanan in the Bartow County Jail as of Friday afternoon on a variety of charges, including possession of methamphetamine, theft by receiving stolen property, and fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer, all felonies.

Bohanan was first spotted at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday in the parking lot of a Citgo on West Avenue, driving a black Infiniti I35 that authorities say was stolen in Polk County. The subsequent police chase accelerated to speeds higher than 120 mph, WBHF reported.

After police caught Bohanan, he told them he was “attempting to eat his methamphetamine during the pursuit but spilled it on the floorboard,” according to the police report as related by WBHF. Police say they found suspected meth and a cut white pill in the car.

Police took Bohanan to Piedmont Cartersville Medical Center to be checked by doctors before taking him to jail.
