W JAIL INMATE HARDEN LAWRENCE LAVON
Lawrence Lavon Harden
A Bulloch County sheriff’s deputy, assisting Statesboro police in a high-speed chase, stopped a fleeing suspect by using the PIT maneuver on Highway 301 South Thursday afternoon. Capt. Jason Kearney with the Statesboro-Bulloch County Crime Suppression Team performed the PIT maneuver, or precision immobilization technique, against a burgundy Lincoln near East Georgia College and Georgia State Patrol Post 45 because the suspect, Lawrence Lavon Harden, 34, of an unknown address in Statesboro, was driving into oncoming traffic, said Bulloch County Sheriff’s Chief Investigator Capt. Todd Hutchens. Kearney was assisting in the chase initiated by Statesboro Police Officer Adam Paquette, who tried to stop Harden on Fair Road, said Statesboro Police Sgt. Jake Saxon.
