Gainesville chase lands local man in jail

GAINESVILLE - A Gainesville man faces a laundry list of charges after leading State Troopers on a chase through portions of the city Saturday night.

According to CPL D. Van Scoten of the Georgia State Patrol, 39-year-old Ronald Bradley Kinsey fled Troopers when they attempted to stop him for laying drags on White Sulfur Road north of Jesse Jewell Parkway.

Troopers pursued Kinsey’s red Chevrolet Pick-Up down Beverly Drive and Lakeview before attempting to use a pit maneuver on the fleeing vehicle.  Kinsey was able to evade the maneuver, and the chase continued back to White Sulfur.  While evading another attempt to stop him, Kinsey hit a Trooper’s vehicle head-on before continuing.

At that point, officers noted that there was a child in the vehicle, and made no further pit attempts.

The pursuit continued back onto Beverly, and ended when the Kinsey jumped out of the vehicle on Fairview, fleeing into the woods.  The child and a female passenger remained in the truck.

Kinsey would be captured later by Hall County Sheriff’s Deputies off of GA Hwy 11 at the Texaco gas station.

According to Van Scoten, Kinsey faces some 28 charges, including DUI, reckless driving, suspended license, obstruction of an officer, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and aggravated assault.
