On the above date and time I Pfc. Bradley responded to the area of Calhoun Rd @ the Northridge Stop and Shop for a fight call involving shots being fired. Dispatch informed me that the complainant/Victim later identified as [VICTIM #1] was following the Suspect/Offender later identified as Randy wallace Mcclure. Dispatch stated that [VICTIM #1] advised them the he was shot at by Mcclure and was trying to catch up to him to get a tag number. [VICTIM #1] advised dispatch that he Mcclure was driving a white Toyota Tacoma aprotching the Northridge Stop and Shop.

I aproched the Northsride Stop and Shop and saw the Toyota Tacoma in the parking lot. I activated my blue lights and bumped my siren at Mcclure to get him to stop. Mcclure backed his truck up looked at me put the truck in drive and began to flee. Mcclure ran the stop sign located at Northridge Ct and Calhoun Rd and accelerated South on Calhoun Rd toward GA-1 Loop Speeds reaching 60-65 Mph with the weather conditions being raining and roads extremely wet. Mcclure crossed the double yellow line on Calhoun Rd @ Yale Rd (2100 Block of Calhoun Rd). Mcclure then stopped his vehicle in the parking lot of the Dollar General (2000 Calhoun Rd). I exited my vehicle and began giving Mcclure verbal commands to exit the vehicle. I advised Mcclure to reach out the widow showing me both his hands. I advised him to open the door from the outside of the vehicle and step out facing away from me.

Mcclure had his cell phone in his right hand I advised him to reach forward with his left hand and shut the driver door to his vehicle. Mcclure complied and the began backing up to the sound of my voice. I stopped Mcclure in between his truck and my marked patrol unit and advised him to place his phone on the back of his truck and lift his shirt so I can see his waist band. I advised Mcclure to place his hands behind his back and approached Mcclure and placed him in cuffs. I asked Mcclure where the gun was located that belongs in the holster he had on his belt. Mcclure advised me that he does not have a gun that he use to carry a gun but doesn’t anymore. I asked Mcclure why he would carry a holster if he didn’t carry a gun and he advised he is just use to the holster being there and hasn’t taken it off. I advised Mcclure I was going to search his vehicle and asked if there was anything in the truck I needed to know about. Mcclure said no and I began searching the truck.

Inside the truck I found multiple large knifes and inside the center console i found ammunition for a 32 long pistol but did not find a gun. I read Mcclure Miranda and he agreed to talk. Mcclure stated that he did not have a gun and that he was sitting at the old gas station on the corner of Calhoun Rd at Wayside Rd> Mcclure stated that [VICTIM #1] pulled up in front of him and the exchanged words and the n he backed up and drove off. Mcclure stated thats all that happened. I asked Mcclure why he ran. Mcclure stated that he did not know I was trying to stop him that he thought I was going after someone else. Mcclure advised me he wanted Loyds to tow his vehicle so I had them in route.

I began talking to my victim. I asked [VICTIM #1] to tell me what happened. [VICTIM #1] advised me that he was traveling east on Wayside Rd when he came up to the stop sign on Wayside Rd at Calhoun Rd. [VICTIM #1] stated he made a left in to Calhoun Rd when Mcclure tried pulling out in front of him.
