Officers were advised by dispatch personnel that the suspect had fled on awhite SUV traveling west in the eastbound lane of Highway 90. As the patrol officer arrived at the Medicine Shoppe, a fireman with Bonifay Fire and Rescue reported to dispatch that a vehicle matching the descriptionwas traveling east on Brock Avenue at a high rate of speed.
