Chase of Murder Suspect Through Golf Course Caught on Video
In the U.S. state of Ohio, an unusual police chase ended with the arrest of 39-year-old Julius Edwards, a suspect in an attempted murder case. The incident occurred on Tuesday and was captured on video, which quickly spread online.
According to local media, police were looking for a gray Kia Telluride driven by Julius Edwards. Around 7:30 PM, officers spotted the car and attempted a traffic stop, but the driver ignored the order and fled.
During the pursuit, Edwards ran a red light, causing a serious crash that injured several people. After the collision, he abandoned his car and tried to flee on foot, but allegedly fired at the pursuing officer.
The suspect then hijacked another vehicle and drove straight across a golf course. Footage shows the van weaving between trees, crossing fairways, and damaging greens, with police cars in hot pursuit, sirens blaring. Golfers watched in disbelief as the chase unfolded.
The chase ended when Edwards crashed into a police car and was subdued. Earlier that day, he had been suspected of stabbing a woman: police found her with a large blade embedded in her arm.
Moreover, according to police, while they were at the crime scene, Edwards called via the Ring doorbell camera and admitted to trying to kill the victim. He now faces charges including attempted murder, vehicle theft, and other offenses.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions on social media: videos of the chase, filmed by witnesses on golf carts, have garnered millions of views. Users are discussing not only the audacity of the criminal but also how quickly an ordinary day at the golf course turned into a scene from an action movie.
