Man wanted on nearly 50 warrants leads Ga. deputies on chase through 2 counties

HABERSHAM COUNTY, Ga. — A Tennessee man wanted on four dozen outstanding warrants lead deputies on a chase through two Georgia counties.

It was Wednesday around 2 a.m. when Habersham County deputies noticed a black motorcycle with no working tag lights on the back and using an offroad-style LED lightbar as a headlamp.

Deputies said the motorcycle came to a stop on Talmadge Drive at Hollywood Highway.

When deputies got behind the motorcycle, driven by 33-year-old Tyler Dallas Cagle of Del Rio, Tennessee, he continue to gain speed, going over 65 miles per hour.

Habersham officials said the motorcyclist crossed the centerline just before Buckhorn Road and passed another car in the oncoming traffic lane, and that was when deputies activated their blue lights to perform a traffic stop.

As Cagle continued to speed, the sheriff’s office said he went down Hollywood Highway, turned right on New Liberty at up to 90 mph, continued onto Oakey Mountain Road turned right onto Raper Mountain Road, then turned left on Ga. 197.

According to deputies, Cagle continued on Ga.197 and turned right on Ga. 255. When he got into the area of Sauntee Junction, Cagle reportedly lost control, sliding onto the wet grass.
