Earlier today an incident occurred at Parkside School in which the School Resource Deputy attempted to arrest a subject who was causing issues at the school. The subject resisted and ultimately fled in a vehicle. This led to an extended car pursuit that ended in Morgan County after multiple agencies joined in the pursuit. The subject is in custody. There is no threat to the community. It is still an active and ongoing investigation. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.
