DALTON, Ga. (AP) A Texas fugitive who fled into the woods in Georgia after shooting at an officer who pulled him over has been captured, authorities said.
In that shooting, two days after the initial traffic stop, Potter shot a man on his property and the man fired back, authorities said.
Whitfield County Sheriff Scott Chitwood had told reporters Wednesday that investigators had surrounded Potter, 29, northwest of the town.
Potter, from Leakey, Texas, was wanted in Georgia on five counts of aggravated assault, and on Texas charges of larceny and theft of more than $2500.
A second Texas man, Jonathan Hosmer, 47, was arrested Tuesday after surveillance video recorded him leaving the truck crash.
