Update: Charges Filed in Police Chase
One man was hospitalized and another was jailed after Thursday's wreck on Ashebrooke Drive.
Updated 3 p.m.
Ryan Walker, 30, of Decatur had recovered enough from his crash injuries to be booked into the Sunday morning.
The charges against Walker include obstruction of an officer, attempting to elude, failure to yield the right of way at a driveway, using a revoked or suspended driver's license, striking a fixed object, driving on the wrong side of the road and running a red light. He faces a $20,000 bond for those charges.
He also faces two cases in which bail bondsmen pulled off the bonds they posted for him, meaning he has to come up with an additional $6,000 to be released.
