High-Speed Chase and Gunpoint Robbery in Columbia County, Georgia

On a Friday morning in Columbia County, Georgia, law enforcement was alerted to a high-speed chase involving two vehicles. The incident began when a dark colored Dodge Challenger was seen pursuing a White Cadillac on Lewiston Road, with reports suggesting that the driver of the Challenger may have been firing shots at the Cadillac. The situation quickly escalated, leading to a dramatic series of events.

The Chase Unfolds

Deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office were promptly dispatched to the scene after receiving the distressing call at approximately 9:30 a.m. They managed to intercept the two vehicles in the parking lot of Food Lion on Columbia Road. However, the driver of the Challenger, later identified as 23-year-old Brendon Daniels, managed to evade capture and fled south on Lewiston Road.

A Violent Collision

In his desperate attempt to escape, Daniels ran a red light at the intersection of William Few Parkway, resulting in a collision with a red Mitsubishi. The impact was significant and left both vehicles badly damaged. Following the crash, Daniels abandoned the Challenger and fled on foot into the wooded area behind Classic Collision.

The Capture

Law enforcement officers swiftly launched a search operation to track down the suspect. After a brief but intensive search, they successfully apprehended Daniels. However, during the pursuit, Daniels began experiencing symptoms of an asthma attack. As a precautionary measure, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were called to the scene, and Daniels was transported to Doctors Hospital for immediate medical attention.

A Startling Revelation

The victim, who had been driving the White Cadillac, provided investigators with a harrowing account of the incident. According to the victim, Daniels had attempted to rob him at gunpoint earlier in the parking lot of Walmart on Steiner Way. Fearing for his life, the victim fled from Daniels and sought refuge with the Columbia County Deputies in the parking lot of Food Lion. Astonishingly, the victim claims to have no prior knowledge or association with Daniels, adding an element of mystery to the unfolding investigation.

Conflicting Claims

However, Daniels has a different version of events. He asserts that he and the victim are acquainted and that the motive behind the incident is a debt owed to him. Investigators are diligently working to unravel the truth and determine the exact nature of the relationship between Daniels and the victim.

Searching for Evidence

Investigators, determined to gather crucial evidence for the case, deployed a K9 unit to recover the firearm allegedly used during the robbery. Additionally, narcotics teams were summoned to the scene due to the discovery of drugs in Daniels’ vehicle. These discoveries may shed further light on the circumstances surrounding the incident, providing investigators with valuable insights.
