Gabrielson did not stop, leading to a chase of more than 10 miles before the truck crashed on Bassett Heights Road in Henry County.

Gabrielson was charged with felony elude, grand larceny, and destruction of property. A 24-year-old passenger, Michael Roberts, was charged with grand larceny and carrying a concealed weapon.
