State troopers charged a Toccoa man with DUI after he allegedly stole a powersport vehicle and took it for a spin on the highway.
61-year-old Bobby Griffin of Toccoa surrendered after being spotted by state troopers on GA 106 near the GA 17 Bypass.
Just before 2 p.m. Wednesday, Post 7 troopers were asked to locate the side-by-side after it was stolen from Mega Motorsports in Toccoa. The dealership manager followed the vehicle as Griffin drove it south on GA 145 then north on Georgia 106, says Georgia State Patrol Post 7 Commander Donnie Sadler.
After the troopers spotted him, Griffin pulled into a nearby gas station and “threw his hands up” to surrender, says Sadler.
The Stephens County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the arrest. More charges may be pending.
