Timothy Johnson

How they died

Vehic/Purs

At around 5:40 p.m., police got a report of a man who ran a gold Jaguar into the home of his estranged wife and fled. A pursuit began, but Johnson stopped on the I-20 bridge on Rankin Road. While sitting in the car, Johnson called the Sheriff's Office Dispatch Center, but then drove off resuming the chase. "While this pursuit was going on he actually called his attorney and shortly after the pursuit had restarted, as you can see he crashed into a tree down here, the car caught fire and the suspect passed away in the accident and fire," Sheriff Bailey said.
