Overview
- Sandy Springs Street Crimes officers working with HSI Atlanta say they tried to box in a vehicle and the car struck a concrete barrier, lifting the rear and coming to rest on top of a patrol cruiser.
- Dashcam video of the collision was recovered by authorities who say the driver, Jorge Luis Delgado-Bermudez, exited the vehicle and tried to flee on foot before being taken into custody.
- Delgado-Bermudez faces multiple Fulton County drug charges tied to methamphetamine and cocaine and is expected to face additional federal charges, officials say.
- Police reported no injuries to officers or members of the public from the crash, and investigators have not publicly identified the larger criminal organization they allege he is linked to or disclosed full federal charging or detention details.
- Homeland Security Investigations frequently partners with local street-crimes units on cases that can produce parallel local and federal charges, and the collision and arrest are being reviewed as part of the ongoing probe.
