Rather than immediately calling the police, the victim got into his truck and began to chase the suspect's vehicle, making it all the way to the I-285 interchange on Ga. 400 when he lost sight of the suspects. Only then did he call 911 and headed back to his apartment. He told the Milton officer he got caught up in the moment and didn't think about calling police until he lost sight of the suspects.
