A 26-year-old Baldwin man carrying drugs in his car Wednesday evening led police on a high-speed chase from Winterville through Athens.
Benford Lee Wade, 26, caught the attention of a Georgia State Patrol trooper when he made a U-turn to avoid a police road check on Moores Grove Road, police said.
The trooper attempted a traffic stop, but Wade raced off on Moores Road and continued on where the street turns into Voyles Road at Spring Valley Road, according to police.
