    Running from police for just a traffic violation? He should of just pulled over. Mmm … there must be more to the story if deputies, a police dog and a sheriff’s helicopter were after him.

      We’re in the story business and have found there is usually “more to the story,” George.

      Current charges aren’t shedding any additional light on what kicked off this particular pursuit. The subject in this case is currently being held on $50,000 bond.
