NORCROSS, GA– An 18-year-old suspect was arrested after leading officers and the Gwinnett Police Department’s Aviation Unit on a chase in a stolen vehicle with two passengers inside the vehicle.
Police said that Shiheen Junnelle Russell, of Duluth, is facing numerous charges in connection with the March 8 incident.
The incident unfolded after officers assigned to the West Precinct responded to a stolen vehicle report. With the help of Flock cameras, they located the stolen vehicle near Peachtree Parkway and Spalding Drive in Peachtree Corners. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver accelerated and fled the scene. The Police Department’s Aviation Unit was nearby and responded to assist, pursuing the stolen vehicle as it traveled to the back of a nearby school, where the three occupants exited the vehicle. The two passengers made their way to the front of the school and met with responding officers willingly, authorities said.
The driver fled from the vehicle and was located and arrested on an adjacent street moments later. Two firearms were recovered, one of which was reported stolen during the time the vehicle was initially stolen, authorities said.
Officers detained all three individuals and interviewed them. It was learned that the two passengers were not involved in the incident and they were released. Following his interview, Russell, the driver, was arrested and booked into the Gwinnett County Jail.
Russell was charged with two counts of Kidnapping, four counts of Theft by Receiving Stolen Property, two counts of Possession of a Firearm or Knife during the Commission or Attempt of Certain Felonies, Theft of Lost or Mislaid Property, Carrying a Weapon within School Safety Zones, Fleeing or Attempting to Elude Police, Reckless Driving and multiple other traffic-related charges.
