A Danielsville man was arrested Friday, hours after fleeing a traffic stop in Forsyth County on foot, and his mother was also arrested in the incident.
In a social media post, the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said deputies pulled over a vehicle driven by Kevin Turner, 31, near the intersection of Bethelview Road and Canton Highway when Turner fled the vehicle and ran into the woods, leaving his mother in the car.
Authorities say he was wanted for a probation violation in Bartow County and his mother had an outstanding warrant for a methamphetamine charge in Hart County. She was arrested at the scene.
Turner came out of the woods roughly three hours later according to the sheriff's office and was met by deputies. After another brief foot chase, he was arrested.
Authorities say deputies rendered aid to Turner on the scene because he had run through briars and been tased during the chase.
