ATLANTA, Ga --
On April 17, 2024, officers responded to the area of Conkle Road and Mount Zion Road in Morrow, Georgia in reference to an ambulance that was stolen from Piedmont Henry Hospital in Stockbridge, Georgia.
The suspect was being treated at the Hospital before he stole a private Amerimed ambulance from the facility and drove away. Paramedics were still in the ambulance when it was taken and chose to bail out of the moving vehicle.
Several stop sticks were thrown at the fleeing ambulance as it tried to evade police through residential neighborhoods and busy intersections.

The pursuit spanned multiple jurisdictions where a number of attempts were made by officers and troopers to disable the stolen vehicle. Over the course of the pursuit, Williams who was operating the stolen vehicle, ignored traffic-controlled devices, law enforcement vehicles, and intentionally struck a number of civilian and police vehicles.
The pursuit eventually led to a residential area where an Atlanta police officer was able to successfully deploy a Stock Stick device which deflated the tires on the stolen ambulance.
Despite the tires being deflated on the ambulance, the suspect continued to lead officers on a chase along Tara Boulevard where Georgia State Patrol troopers utilized a PIT maneuver which sent the ambulance careening across the roadway, along a grassy median, and into a metal communications tower where the vehicle was finally disabled. Immediately following the crash, the suspect exited the vehicle and took flight from officers on foot.
After a brief foot chase and with the assistance of officers from multiple jurisdictions, the suspect was apprehended without further issue.
The suspect was identified as 27-year-old La'Darius Williams. Williams was formally placed into custody by Georgia State Patrol troopers and was transported to the Clayton County Jail for processing.
