Lewis Dean Martin of Eustis, Fla., also faces a number of pending charges from the Georgia State Patrol, who assisted in the chase that spanned from Toombs County to Candler County. Martin, 59, was spotted around 2 p.m. Wednesday stealing several grills from a Dollar General Market in Lyons and leaving the scene in an older model white school bus, he said.
