Deputy faces DUI charge after leading troopers on 130 mph chase, Georgia cops say

A Georgia sheriff’s deputy is charged with driving under the influence after leading state troopers on a high-speed chase earlier this month.

Georgia State Patrol officers arrested Rockdale County deputy Tobias Holmes, 25, after a trooper clocked his Honda Accord going 119 mph on I-20 westbound in Fulton County on Dec. 5, according to an incident report obtained by McClatchy News.

Holmes faces several other charges including speeding, reckless driving and attempting to elude police.

Troopers said the deputy was traveling with at least three passengers, two of whom were identified as fellow Rockdale County deputies. All were suspected to have been drinking, and an open container of Corona beer was spotted in the car after the chase, authorities said.
