Wednesday afternoon, Milton Jackson, 25, led officers from the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office on a chase after he allegedly fled deputies when he attempted to recover his vehicle from an impound yard. The vehicle had been impounded after Jackson allegedly fled Douglas police officers during a traffic stop on Monday.

On Monday, November 25, 2024, a Douglas police officer conducted a traffic stop on Jackson’s vehicle, a 2007 GMC Yukon. During the stop, the officer learned that Jackson had several warrants for his arrest. Jackson allegedly fled the scene on foot. Officers were unable to apprehend him but they did have his vehicle.

A-1 Towing transported the Yukon to its yard on the Willacoochee Highway across the road from the Dollar General at Bear Creek Mobile Home Park. Someone was scheduled to come pick up the Yukon mid-afternoon on Wednesday. About 3:30 p.m., a maroon Chevrolet Malibu pulled up to the A-1 Towing yard. A blue Honda Civic turned into the Dollar General as the Malibu turned into A-1. One of the occupants of the Malibu vehicle got out and walked inside the fence at A-1. When that happened, deputies who were staked out nearby converged on the scene. One deputy was in the Dollar General parking lot parked close to the Civic.

As soon as the deputies pulled up, the Civic fled the scene while a deputy yelled at the vehicle to stop. Deputies handcuffed the individual at A-1. However, that person was not Jackson; apparently, he was attempting to get the car for Jackson from the impound yard. Jackson, meanwhile, was in the Civic watching. Several of the deputies at A-1 left and pursued the Honda. Once officers realized what was going on, they released the individual they had handcuffed.

The Civic made it as far as the Enmarket at the intersection of Perimeter Road and Highway 135. There, troopers from the Georgia State Patrol and deputies brought the chase to an end.

Jackson was taken into custody without further incident and booked into the Coffee County Jail. Jackson did not own the Honda; the owner was not in the vehicle and did not know what Jackson had planned. As such, the owner of the car did not face charges. Jackson’s charges include possession of a controlled substance (marijuana), sale of cocaine, affixing materials that reduce or increase light transmission/reflectance of windows or windshields, possession of drug related objects, obstructing or hindering persons making emergency telephone calls, and headlight/taillight/ tag lights required. He remains in the Coffee County Jail.

Jackson was a highly recruited football player when he was at Coffee High School. He had accepted an offer to play for the Georgia Southern University Eagles upon graduation. However, the summer before his senior season, Jackson was arrested on drug-related charges and never took the field again. Wednesday’s arrest is one of several scrapes with the law in which Jackson has been involved since then.
