WEST MOBILE, Ala (WALA) – We are learning new details about a West Mobile police chase that resulted in two crashes and sent an innocent driver to the hospital.
It happened Thursday night near the intersection of University Boulevard and Old Shell Road.
Police say the chase started because officers thought the person was involved in an armed robbery that had just happened. That turned out not to be the case, but the driver is still in a lot of trouble at Metro.
As of Friday afternoon, 22-year-old Dontravious Adams remains behind bars. Mobile police say he is charged with at least one felony after a late-night police chase.
“He struck two vehicles, one of the vehicles he struck he kept going, the other one he struck he kept going,” said Mobile Public Safety Director Lawrence Battiste. “One of the vehicles he struck someone sustained injuries in and that’s what made it a felony.”
