A Mobile police official defended the agency’s vehicle pursuit policy as “very stringent” following a tragic crash that occurred early Sunday minutes after authorities called off a police chase.
Mobile Assistant Police Chief William Jackson talks to AL.com on Monday, December 5, 2022, at Mobile police headquarters in Mobile, Ala. .
A supervising sergeant called off the chase based on “weather conditions and speeds,” said Jackson, and the pursuit ended. Two other passengers – Charity Mills, 22, of Mobile; and Jaylin Alexander, 18, of Mobile – were taken to USA Hospital where they were treated for injuries. Mills remains hospitalized where she is in serious but stable condition. Alexander has since been released.
The deadly result of the aborted chase in Mobile comes at a time when police agencies nationwide are reviewing their own policies for high-speed pursuits. Jackson said he was uncertain how fast Franklin was driving at the time he fled authorities following the initial pursuit. after one of its police officers, during an unauthorized police chase, slammed into a bystanders’ vehicle. Five people were injured.
