The incident occurred about an hour and a half after a shooting occurred on nearby Woodhill Drive. Police say they do not believe the two incidents are related.
"We don't have anything that indicates that at this time," Lt. Ronald Keaton said about the connection to the shooting and the incident on Mount Tabor. "This was related to a call that was off Mount Tabor Rd, we got a call about some subjects acting suspicious in the area. A couple officers arrived on the scene, they saw an individual hop into the back seat of a white passenger car and they made the decision to try to stop the vehicle and the vehicle fled from the officers."
