On Sept. 5, around 5 p.m., Carrollton officers were called to a hit-and-run on Bankhead Highway.

Police said it started when a motorcyclist, Chandler Kyle Detscher, displayed aggressive behavior on Highway 166 Bypass. Officials said Detsher was driving erratically and trying to hide the motorcycle’s license plate.
