A Baldwin County sheriff’s deputy shot at a gun-wielding suspect after they say he disobeyed commands to drop his weapon following a high-speed chase Tuesday.

Members of the office’s Street Crimes Unit were in Foley around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday searching for a stolen vehicle reported to deputies earlier in the day.

The vehicle was spotted on Charolais Road near Baldwin County Road 65 when a deputy tried to initiate a traffic stop.

The driver then led deputies on a 12-minute high-speed chase spanning the outskirts of Foley, through Magnolia Springs and an area south of Magnolia Springs.

The suspect left the road, drove into a field and then got on Hartung Road when the pursuit ended.

The driver of the vehicle and the sole occupant of the vehicle, identified as Jabari Maliek Stots, fled on foot.

Pursuing deputies allegedly saw a pistol in Stots’ hand and ordered him to drop the gun but Stots did not comply, the sheriff’s office said.

A K-9 was then deployed when Stots swung his arm and shoulder toward the pursuing dog when a deputy fired one shot at Stots.

The shot did not hit the suspect, the sheriff’s office said.

Deputies made contact with Stots, who continued to resist apprehension, and eventually took him into custody.

Stots suffered injuries from the K-9 and received medical treatment.

He is expected to be booked in the Baldwin County jail on charges of resisting arrest, receiving stolen property, felony fleeing or attempting to prelude and a preexisting felony failure to appear warrant, the sheriff’s office said.
