A Bulloch County Sheriff’s deputy forced a fleeing suspect to a halt Monday afternoon after responding to a domestic disturbance. Tyler Edward Crabtree, 23, Irongate Place, fled from deputies after physically attacking an elderly relative, but Master Deputy Jeff White ended the high-speed chase by performing a PIT (Precision Immobilization Technique) maneuver, forcing Crabtree’s truck out of control by using his patrol car, said Bulloch County Sheriff Noel Brown. Deputies were called to an Irongate Place residence, where a victim said their son, Crabtree, came to their house and started an argument, then struck the victim several times, he said.
