Officers were trying to stop Stephen Ray Edwards, 40, on suspicion of burglary.

After he crashed his truck into a patrol car during the chase he was charged with fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement officers, felony obstruction of law enforcement officers, driving on a suspended license and reckless driving.

Edwards is also facing burglary charges in connection with a break-in at Snapper Pro Lawn Inc. at 915 Flat Shoals Road.

Now that police have identified Edwards as the suspected 'Dancing Burglar' he was also interviewed by police from Cobb County, Gwinnett County and Alpharetta.
