Man known to impersonate police caught in high-speed chase
Coweta County deputies tried to pull Torrez Seymore over for an expired tag, but he led them on a high-speed chase instead. Not only did they say they found out he had a history of impersonating officers, but he was also caught with a gun in the car despite the fact that he is a convicted felon.
COWETA COUNTY, Ga. - Coweta County deputies said they tried to pull over a man for an expired tag, but he hit the gas. It wasn't until after he was caught that deputies realized why he likely ran.
Torrez Seymore, 36, reportedly led a high-speed chase, but lost control on a turn and hit a utility pole head-on.
That's when Seymore, who was uninjured, could be seen via body camera footage hopping out of the car and making a run for it.
The deputy chasing him deployed his Taser and arrested Seymore.
During the arrest, Seymore told the deputy he had a gun in the car and admitted to being on parole.
As it turns out, Seymore made headlines after being convicted as part of a robbery crew that posed as police officers with fake badges to break into their victims' homes and violently rob them at gunpoint.

According to federal records, he was released from prison in 2023 after serving ten years.
Deputies believe that's why he refused to pull over.
