Chase suspect IN CUSTODY

A chase thru parts of Oconee ended early this afternoon with the apprhension of a person the Sheriff’s Office describes as a suspect in a shoplifting case at the EGame Stop at Applewood Shopping Center.  The chase ended on SC 183/the Walhalla-Pickens Highway in the vicinity of High Falls Express and Wolf Stake Road.  Charges against the suspect are expected to be multiple in number, but sheriff’s spokesman Jimmy Watt says there’s no immediate word on excactly what charges and how many.  The chase, at its high speeds, put a shudder into a number of motorists from Seneca to Walhalla, back to Seneca, and then back toward toward Walhalla, as they had to avoid the speeding vehicle.
