Haralson County deputies are looking for a man who led multiple municipalities on a chase Tuesday morning.

Deputy Jon Henderson of HCSO was near I-20, spotted the truck and decided to pursue the vehicle, according to officials.

As the deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop, the Sonoma picked up speed; shortly after, a Bremen Police Department officer joined the chase to assist Henderson.

Georgia State Patrol also joined and performed a PIT maneuver on the Sonoma around mile marker two where the chase ended, officials say.

A man got out of the truck and fled the scene. Officials later identified the man as Brandon Wayne Duff, 36, of Mableton.
