Jaime Carmona-Cruz, 46 of Rome, was arrested this week after he was accused of using another person’s social security card to gain employment in the US.
Police said that while attempting to pull Carmona-Cruz over on Burnett Ferry Road, he fled away at speeds of nearly 100 mph while passing other cars in a no-passing zone.
During the chase, Carmona-Cruz is accused of throwing multiple objects out of a window and running numerous stop signs.
After eventually coming to a stop on Lakeland Road and Leisure Drive, he proceeded to run away on foot. Officers were able to catch up with and capture Carmona-Cruz, who still resisted being handcuffed.
It was then discovered that he had been driving on a suspended license and in possession of methamphetamine, open containers of alcohol, and drug-related objects.
Carmona-Cruz is charged with identity fraud, attempting to elude police, terroristic threats/acts, possession of meth, obstruction, possession of drug related objects, DUI, driving on a suspended license, reckless driving, open container, stop sign violation, littering, driving on wrong side of roadways, passing in a no pass zone, failure to maintain lane and speeding.
