Standoff ends after Warner Robins man steals car mid-chase and attempts to run over officers

During the chase, the man attempted to run over officers with a stolen car.

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — A man has been arrested after a standoff in the Red Fox Run neighborhood on Sunday night just after 10 p.m., according to the Warner Robins Police Department. 

51-year-old Todd Eric Jones Jr. is accused of shooting at a man in Warner Robins on Camellia Circle at North Avenue after a hit-and-run crash. Jones drove away from the scene in a Gold Chevy Silverado as police arrived. 

Warner Robins police chased Jones into Centerville, where he crashed into other vehicles. 

He then carjacked a Ford Expedition and attempted to run over officers. Jones and officers exchanged gunfire before he was able to evade law enforcement. 

Jones drove onto the property at Central Baptist Church. Law enforcement searched the area around the church.

He was later located hiding in a commercial van in the 100 block of Red Fox Run, just off Russell Parkway. Law enforcement was able to negotiate a peaceful surrender. Jones was taken to a local hospital after he suffered several gunshot wounds in the initial chase. 

The GBI is investigating.
