A fugitive who led local officers on a pursuit before crashing his car on Puckett’s Point Road and fleeing the scene on foot with his son has been captured.Sheriff Patrick Ray said 34 year old George Forrest Brown was found in a lake home on Happy Trails Lane off Puckett’s Point Road Sunday night. His son Chase Brown, believed to be 10 years old, was with him.
According to Sheriff Ray, Brown had broken into the residence after discovering the owners were not at home. As officers were conducting a door to door search in the Ponder Road and Puckett’s Point Road area, a deputy and THP trooper spotted a window broken out in the home where Brown was hiding.
Officers made entry but Brown hemmed himself in a bedroom with his son and refused to come out making verbal threats toward the officers. But he eventually gave himself up without incident and was taken into custody. He had on him a large knife.
Brown was taken by deputies to the emergency room of the hospital to be checked out before being transported to the jail for booking. Brown’s son was taken to the hospital by DeKalb EMS for examination.
Brown is wanted in Hillsdale, Michigan for a pursuit there last week in which he fired shots at Michigan officers
