Was he "captured", or did he "turn himself in"? Is it me, or does all the hoopla seem a little silly? This guy is a license/traffic violator, not a drug dealer, rapist, child-molester, etc.
So he got pulled over, wasn't ready to go jail on his warrants for violating probation with traffic charges, and he ran. Helicopters, K9 units.....national guard?? ; )
C'mon. Did I miss something?

The "Hoopla" is that a desperate man that had eluded three jurisdictions of Law Enforcement while hiding somewhere within the South Forsyth community over the course of two days was otherwise quietly taken into custody...how that happened should be of some interest to all.

IMHO the best of His concerns were that someone OTHER than the Forsyth County Sheriffs Office take him into custody -- I read elsewhere this apparently for His fear of its "tough-on-crime" agency-reputation...EXACTLY what I want such character of People to fear of My local Law Enforcement!

Kudos to all Law Enforcement involved, as We are relieved to find this threat to our community abated, with a special thanks to Sheriff Ted Paxton and Our Forsyth County Sheriffs Dept. -- for their work over the last decade in keeping Forsyth County a safe place to Live, Work, Learn, and Play.

I agree with all the kudos being showered on our county's law enforcement. I am ALWAYS grateful and supportive of our officers.
On the other hand, the man's desperation and level of threat (or lack thereof) didn't seem to warrant the level of action as reported, IMO....perhaps there's more to this man's story that I haven't read. If he feared Forsyth's reputation, why didnt he choose one of the other two counties for his self-surrender?
I know it's election time and all.....maybe that's "all the hoopla". ??

Apparently there is more to this story than some may "read-into": Anyone "hot-on-the-lam" and hiding within a community is both an imminant threat to society and themselves...they will become even more irrationally desperate as time passes...that community will become fraught with un-ease -- just as South Forsyth and elsewhere nearby was over those days...and "Things" may have ended differently that they now have indeed : ?

The guys Mom made him turn himself in.
Let's keep it real here

Yep, He did call his "Mom" -- to have Johns Creek P.D. come 'n take him in to THEIR custody -- after having successfully hid from authorities for nearly three days within what few woods remain of South Forsyth County...because he did NOT want to be caught and held "Criminal" in the Forsyth County jurisdiction, and that does say something!

(Hey now, just keepin' it real ; )

What it says is that the man most likely feared being brutalized by the FCSO. Just my guess.
