JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Capitol police announced that a man was arrested after a chase ended in a crash at a Jackson golf course.

As officers responded to the business, Martin said the vehicle fled the scene, which led to a chase. Officers pursued the vehicle onto the Sonny Guy Municipal Golf Course when the suspect left the roadway. Martin said the officers continued their pursuit until the suspect’s vehicle collided with a tree on the golf course.

According to Martin, the suspect, 30-year-old Jamory Smith, exited the vehicle and ran across the driving range while displaying a weapon. After a brief chase, officers arrested Smith on a fairway.

Martin said Smith was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries. She said the vehicle and the weapon Smith was carrying were both reported as stolen.

Smith will be charged with felony evasion, possession of a stolen vehicle, and possession of a stolen firearm. Additional charges may be filed.
