Convicted felon arrested after high-speed chase on I-20, police say

ATLANTA – A convicted felon is facing charges after police say he was caught going 90 mph on Interstate 20.

Atlanta police said they spotted the reckless driver while conducting speed enforcement on I-20 the night of Oct. 18.

Instead of stopping for police, the driver of the black Honda Civic continued speeding and made multiple erratic lane changes, authorities said.

After using the department’s Aviation Unit to track the driver, officers eventually stopped him at a Shell gas station on Hill Street.

The driver, identified as Quentin Jackson, was taken into custody without incident. Investigators say Jackson had an illegal firearm on his person at the time.

Jackson currently faces several charges, including speeding, reckless driving, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain lane, driving with a revoked license, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
