Additional Hopkins County S.O deputies deployed positive stop stick hits at the 138 mm and the 131 mm. The driver continued to evade with 2 front tires completely flat and 6 of the 8 rear tires flat. The suspect was very aggressive toward vehicles on the road as well as patrol units attempting to block exits and deploy stop sticks.
