A LaGrange man was n jail today after officers said he fled from police and sheriff’s deputies in a chase in Troup County.

Otis Cameron, 46, whose address were unavailable, was stopped in Alabama by Chambers County sheriff’s deputies after LaGrange and Troup County officers broke off a chase Tuesday afternoon.

Lawmen gave this ac-count:

An officer attempted to stop Cameron, who was accused of driving on a suspended license, in the parking lot of Bay Food Store at 1312 Hamilton Road before he accelerated his Honda Accord onto Hamilton Road. The car continued southbound on Hamilton Road, then made a U-turn at an intersection and headed northbound. He then turned onto Butler, Bagley and Cedar streets while disregarding a stop sign. From Cedar Street, Cameron turned onto Whitesville and Handley streets while barely avoiding a collision with another vehicle. Traveling at 60 mph, he turned onto Dunson Street and sped through an intersection past a stop sign. He later turned onto Fourth Avenue and then Troup Street while traveling 75 mph before turning onto Monroe Street, where he approached a dead end. Cameron then pulled his vehicle off the roadway and drove under a power line and eventually reached North Kight Drive. At that time, police called off the chase and called other law enforcement agencies to warn them. Another police officer later spotted the vehicle speeding down Roanoke Road, where a Troup County sheriff’s patrol car got behind his vehicle and chased him to the state line. Within 10 minutes, Chambers County sheriff’s deputies stopped the vehicle and arrested Cameron.

Cameron was being held in the Chambers County jail and has a warrants issued by police for driving on a suspended license, reckless driving and felony eluding police.
